Liverpool will BEAT Man City and secure Premier League title THIS WEEK - Sky Sports pundit

That is according to Sky Sports pundit and former Chelsea right-back Mario Melchiot.
Liverpool are currently unbeaten after the first 19 games of the Premier League season.

They are seven points clear of second-placed Manchester City at the top of the table.
Before the 3-1 win over Southampton on Sunday, City had lost three of their previous four games.
I think if Liverpool win that game, I don’t see anyone catching them
And Melchiot says victory at the Etihad for Liverpool would be enough for them to win the top flight for the first time since 1992.
“City has all the ingredients and experience to overtake Liverpool,” Melchiot said.
“But at this time, I think if Liverpool win that game, I don’t see anyone catching them.
“They’re so good and they’re doing it with a lot of confidence. I think that’s key.
“I honestly believe that this team is good that maybe this is their time.
“If they let this one go, wow, Liverpool man. I cannot believe what would happen then.”
And when asked of his prediction for the game, Melchiot could only see one winner.
“Liverpool will win it,” he continued.
“I think Manchester City will come into this game knowing that they are still unstable.
“And I think this game is maybe too big and too important for them to fix everything right on time.
“I still think they are in that momentum to create and understand everything that they built so well.”
