Klopp admits title race is in Man City hands

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes the Premier League title is out of their hands following their draw against Tottenham on Saturday.

The Reds had to fight back and hold the Antonio Conte side at Anfield after Son Heung-Min had given the visitors the lead only for Lucas Diaz to ensure they earned a point in the game.

Asked if he thought Man City would drop points in the remaining games, Klopp said: “I can’t see it. I wish I could think differently but I can’t see it.

“My problem is not whether City smashes Newcastle. It’s Aston Villa on Tuesday. We have a point more than before so that’s good and it’s massively better than when we were 1-0 down. That goal really counts. But it’s not what we wanted, we have to deal with it and we will.”

The 1-1 draw takes Liverpool’s top on goal difference but Pep Guardiola’s side can move three points clear with three games remaining if they defeat Newcastle United on Sunday.
