Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has outlined the one reason why Liverpool might be the favourites for the Premier League title.

Jurgen Klopp's side are the current leaders following their 4-1 win at Brentford on Saturday. Arsenal, however, are just two points behind while Man City are four points behind.

Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, believes Rodri is “by far” the best midfielder in the world. The Spain international scored the late equaliser which rescued what could prove a vital point in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
