“I think Jurgen cannot say it but I can, I think nine points is, for a very good team, it’s a difference that you just have to control, so I would say that if Liverpool win the game today, they will win the league," he said during a statement to Skysports.

The former Man Utd coach said the draw result would be the worst-case scenario for the Reds, however, it will be a very good result for the Citizen.

“I don’t think a point is enough for them. City are a very good team, they are capable of very strong runs, of consecutive victories and a slip for Liverpool will always happen," Mourinho explained.
