Ian Wright explains why he wants Liverpool to win Premier League over Man City
Ian Wright would prefer Liverpool to win the Premier League title this season so the Reds can celebrate with their fans in front of a packet out Anfield. Jordan Henderson hoisted the trophy above his head in July 2020 with no crowd to witness the historic moment due to Covid regulations.
Liverpool have the chance to move to the top of the Premier League with victory over Watford at Anfield on Saturday lunchtime at least for a brief period as Manchester City take on Burnley at Turf Moor at 3pm.
Former Arsenal striker Wright believes Liverpool's title rivals, City, could choose to prioritise the Champions League over the Premier League as they have never won Europe's elite competition - losing in the final to Chelsea last season.

Liverpool could be set for a multi-million pound windfall this summer thanks to former Reds striker Taiwo Awoniyi. The Nigerian left Anfield to join Union Berlin on a permanent basis in a £6.5m deal last summer and has been flourishing in Germany, gaining reported interest from Premier League clubs in the process.
The striker has scored 16 goals this season, including 11 from 24 Bundesliga appearances and four in the inaugural Europa Conference League.

It also earned him January interest from VfL Wolfsburg as they looked to replace Wout Weghorst, according to Kicker, though Awoniyi rejected their advances in order to stay put at Union Berlin, having also snubbed them down the previous summer when leaving Anfield.
