Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes his former club would become 'big favourites' to win the Premier League title if they defeated Manchester City next month.
The Reds head into their eleventh game of the campaign - against Aston Villa at the weekend - six points clear of Man City after an unbeaten start to the season.
Man City travel to Liverpool on November 10 for a crunch match at the top and should the home side win they could be nine points clear in the Premier League title race.
Carragher thinks that victory over City next month would put Jurgen Klopp's side in a position where they will be difficult for anyone to stop, even Pep Guardiola's side.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he explained: "They've started brilliantly, on the back of what they did last season in the Champions League.
"But it might be difficult to replicate what they did, in terms of the 97 points to almost win the Premier League.
"Both teams were in the same position last year and City came back at them.
"If Liverpool could win the City game, not just for the points, but psychologically, that would put them in a great position.
"In this moment, Liverpool are slight favourites, if they were to reach the international break on the back of two wins, that would put them nine points clear.
"They'd take some stopping then, they'd be big favourites."
