City are a very good team, they are capable of very strong runs, of consecutive victories and a slip for Liverpool will always happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think it can be a little bit of a contradiction because Liverpool is a team with a six-point advantage but, for me, a draw would be a positive result for City and a bad result for Liverpool.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wrapper_6345b443e2192e5564ba30abc7.y34vu6acsp9x1pu8t337ybx5r$s=1\"><iframe id=\"6345b443e2192e5564ba30abc7.y34vu6acsp9x1pu8t337ybx5r$s=1\" src=\"https:\/\/player.daznservices.com\/player\/player.html#6345b443e2192e5564ba30abc7.y34vu6acsp9x1pu8t337ybx5r$s=1&amp;location=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.manchestereveningnews.co.uk%252Fsport%252Ffootball%252Ffootball-news%252Fman-city-liverpool-jose-mourinho-17232354&amp;visibility=hidden&amp;secure=true&amp;embedStyle=s\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-width=\"null\" data-height=\"null\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div id=\"perform-placeholder\" class=\"placeholder\" data-config=\"{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;perform-placeholder&quot;,&quot;componentType&quot;:&quot;placeholder&quot;,&quot;referenceNode&quot;:&quot;.article-body &gt; p:nth-of-type(6)&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;performPlaceholder&quot;,&quot;relativePos&quot;:&quot;after&quot;}\" data-placeholder-placeholder=\"\" data-response-start=\"3200\" data-type=\"placeholder\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cLiverpool have to get momentum and, in my opinion, win the game at home at Anfield, that\u2019s the only good result for Liverpool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The game at Anfield kicks-off at 4.30pm.<\/p>\n<p>source:ES<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"section-theme-background-indicator publication-font\"><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jose Mourinho thinks that the Premier League title will be going to Liverpool if they defeat Manchester City in today&#8217;s Super Sunday clash.
