John Barnes gives verdict on Liverpool's Premier League title chances against Man City

John Barnes is expecting the same level of consistency from Liverpool in the Premier League that they have shown in recent years as they look to beat Manchester City to the title. The Reds were pipped to top spot by just one point last season, but are hoping to go one better this term.

Barnes thinks that the title race will be tight again and expects 'only a point or two' between Liverpool and City come the end of the campaign. Pep Guardiola 's side are attempting to win their third Premier League in a row.

When speaking to BonusCodeBets, Barnes said: “Manchester City beat Liverpool to win the title. When you look at the last game that separated them, last year Liverpool could have beaten City because they played with a level of consistency. This year, I’m expecting the same thing from Liverpool, all we can ask is that we see the same level of consistency they’ve shown in the last two years.
