Former Man City defender refuses to change mind about title after Liverpool 'surprise'

Liverpool have still been backed to win the Premier League by a former Manchester City player - despite dropping points against Fulham.

The Reds were forced to settle for just a point in their first Premier League match of the season. Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage, on a day that could have seen them leave empty handed.
