Jack Grealish makes Liverpool points prediction in Man City title race

Man City playmaker Jack Grealish has tipped Liverpool to take maximum points from their remaining games and push his side to the limit.

The Reds drew 1-1 on Saturday evening against Tottenham Hotspur to move to the top of the league on goal difference. City played 24 hours later and beat Newcastle United convincingly to regain their place at the summit of the Premier League and open up a three-point gap.

Jurgen Klopp's side are back in action tonight against Aston Villa and a win by four goals or more will see Liverpool leapfrog City with two games to go but having played one match more. Grealish, who joined the Citizens from Villa Park last summer, has not had the start many expected following his £100million move.

But the England international has said that he is loving his time at City as they attempt to regain a title many thought was a sure thing at the start of the year when Liverpool were 12 points behind.

Grealish has tipped the Reds to not lose another game this season, upcoming fixtures against Villa, Southampton and Wolves, meaning his own side will have to do the same in order to clinch the league.

“I am loving it. This is what I have come here for, to play in these big games and that is what I want to do," he said after the 5-0 win over Newcastle.

"I want to win medals, win titles, so I am really enjoying it. I have got the lads, the staff and the manager to thank for that for making me feel so welcome. Hopefully we can all win something.

“Liverpool is a great team and I don’t think they will be slipping up again if I am honest. We have to stay on the ball and go and pick up maximum points.

"For me, the Premier League is the best league in the world. Anything can happen in these remaining games, so we have to stay strong and keep our foot on the pedal. We cannot take our foot off it and they are going to be three very tough games and we have to get maximum points if we want to lift the title.”
