Rio Ferdinand has admitted that he can “feel fear in other teams” when they come up against Liverpool, but has still backed Manchester City to lift the Premier League title.
Heading into their game against Watford this weekend, the Reds are on a nine-game winning run in the league and have moved to within a point of Pep Guardiola’s side at the top of the table . The club also face tough tests in both the FA Cup and Champions League as Jurgen Klopp guides his team through a season-defining month.
Speaking prior to Saturday’s game at Anfield, Ferdinand labelled momentum as a decisive factor in the title race. And the former Manchester United defender was forced to praise Liverpool for how they have worked to close the gap on the league leaders.
