Micah Richards insists Liverpool are “not going to win the league” this season as the winner will be either Arsenal or Manchester City.
The Reds face Brighton in the early kick-off on Easter Sunday before Arsenal travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Man City in a crucial title clash.

“This is a massive, massive day and if Arsenal can win, they can win the league.”
The match between Arsenal and Man City could go a long way to deciding who wins the Premier League this season and Richards wants the Citizens to emerge victorious.
