'That's not what you said yesterday!' - Micah Richards makes Liverpool and Man City title claim

Micah Richards says that he is '80-90 percent certain' Manchester City will win the Premier League title should they beat Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool have started the day top of the Premier League on goal difference, but a draw or win over the Toon Army will take Pep Guardiola's side back to the summit.

Richards said: "I would never say in the bag," before colleague Jamie Carragher interjected: "That's not what you said yesterday!"
