Jamie Carragher reveals what Liverpool must do to become "big favorites" in the title race

Liverpool are currently leading the Premier League table with 6 points ahead of second placed Manchester City, but football expert Jamie Carragher thinks that the Reds should win their games before the international break to be called "big favorites" in the title race. "They've started brilliantly, on the back of what they did last season in the Champions League. But it might be difficult to replicate what they did, in terms of the 97 points to almost win the Premier League," Carragher told Sky Sports. "At this moment, you'd probably have to say they're slight favourites for the title. But I can't help but think City will come back and go on a winning run. "Both teams were in the same position last year and City came back at them. If Liverpool could win the City game, not just for the points, but psychologically, that would put them in a great position. "In this moment, Liverpool are slight favourites, if they were to reach the international break on the back of two wins, that would put them nine points clear. They'd take some stopping then, they'd be big favourites." Liverpool's upcoming Premier League game will be against Aston Villa on Saturday, October 2.
