Rafael Benitez has said that Liverpool have a significant chance of winning the title over Manchester City due to this one particular advantage.
He said: “It you look at the table Liverpool has a great advantage at the moment, it is too early to tell much from that, but Manchester City can’t make too many mistakes or the pressure might become too much.”
Benitez also thinks Man City’s desire to win their first Champions League trophy could help Liverpool land their first Premier League title.
He said: “Later they will start thinking about the Champions League and lose their focus on the Premier League which obviously would be good for Liverpool.”
“It is difficult to explain what happened at Tottenham, but I’m sure they will do better throughout the season,” he wrote.
“We don’t need to talk about systems or style of football, but it can be seen that Manchester City and Manchester United had the possession in their respective games while Wolves and Newcastle United were the ones who went away with the points.
“So, that opens a debate on how important possession is, or whether it is more beneficial to have a good game plan and counterattack to maximise what you have at your disposal.”
