Manchester City title-winner makes very bold Liverpool claim

Joleon Lescott claims no one from Liverpool's squad would get in Manchester City 's starting XI. Lescott said: "Both Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp will each be happy with their own team and their players suit their styles of football. "I’m not sure I’d take a single one of Liverpool ’s players for Man City’s team, but it’s fair to say both have put together great squads. "From a Man City perspective, I have been very impressed with Aymeric Laporte this season, who has arguably made a similar impact to what Virgil Van Dijk has at Liverpool." Lescott added: "I expect Manchester City to go on to win the Premier League. It is interesting that they’ve been able to overtake Liverpool so quickly. "I don’t think it’s a surprise that Man City have won the games they have, but rather that Liverpool have dropped points in recent weeks. "They haven’t performed well in the games they should have done and Man City have been able to capitalise on that. "Earlier on in the season, the title could have been Liverpool’s to lose but they threw the opportunity away with a bad run of games where they didn’t achieve what they should have done. It’s now in Manchester City’s hands and I don’t expect them to let it slip. "Retaining the Premier League title will be Man City’s biggest achievement and to become the first side to do it since Sir Alex Ferguson retired from Manchester United is another camel off their backs in the city."
