Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has sent a cheeky message to Liverpool, telling Jurgen Klopp’s side that “it is better to be in our position” as Premier League leaders, with the title race beginning to head towards a tense finale.
Pep Guardiola’s men were left frustrated in their attempts to restore a six-point gap at the summit after being held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday. The visitors dominated proceedings with 76 per cent possession and 18 shots on goal, although only four of those troubled Vicente Guaita.
But despite several chances to snatch all three points, City left south London knowing that they may have handed Liverpool a huge boost in their title challenge. The Reds have won eight games in a row and can reduce the gap to just one point if they beat Arsenal on Wednesday.
