Manchester United icon sends 'frightening' Liverpool message to Pep Guardiola

A Liverpool win over Man City will see them lift the Premier League trophy in May, according to former Manchester United and Manchester City striker Andy Cole.

City welcome the Reds to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon one point clear at the top of the table.

But should Liverpool secure a win on the road and move top of the table, Cole says he can only see the rest of the 2021/22 campaign going one way and that's the Reds regaining the title they won in 2020. The ex-forward said that the momentum swing would leave Klopp's side feeling 'invincible' and put them in pole position.

“They have massive momentum,” Cole told Sky Sports News. “Where Liverpool have come from. I said before ‘it’s over. Manchester City will run away with it’.

“What Liverpool have done since then is unbelievable. I think being in that position. Knowing that you are chasing.

“If Liverpool go to the Etihad and win, for me, they are in pole position. Knowing they have gone to Man City, beat them and then keep winning football matches. It’s as simple as that.

“Being in that position. When you are chasing, you go to that team, to their home ground and beat them. Then, it makes you feel invincible.

“They have been frightening. People have said ‘they haven’t played well’. Fair enough, but if you are still winning football matches, then that’s what it’s like to become champions.”
