Former Man City boss backs Liverpool to win Premier League title and what he thinks of Jurgen Klopp

Sven-Goran Eriksson believes Liverpool will win the Premier League title this season.

The former Manchester City manager said he has been a Reds fan all his life and it was "about time" the league title made its way back to Anfield.

Liverpool are eight points clear of second-placed Leicester and nine clear of defending champions City following a victory over Pep Guardiola's men 3-1 earlier this month.

"It will be their year, for sure," former England manager Eriksson told Sky Sports News .

"I'm a Liverpool fan. I always have been, all my life.

" Klopp is doing excellent. They're playing very good football, there's a good spirit and they always come back even if they are down.

"I am quite sure that this is the year that Liverpool will win the Premier League and it's about time.

"They played very well last season. Of course, they won the Champions League but they seem to be even more mature and they believe in what they're doing.

"They believe that they are the best, even if they are down they come back and they trust what they are doing."
