BetFred owner Fred Done could well be regretting his decision to pay out on Manchester City becoming Premier League champions for the 2021/22 season back in December.
Pep Guardiola's side made the most of Liverpool losing to Leicester and being held to draws by Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the final month of 2021, boasting an eight-point lead after beating Brentford 1-0 on December 29.
Even before this match at the home of the Bees was played, though, one man was convinced the title was done and dusted - Liverpool were deemed well and truly out of the running.
