Wolves defender delivers his title verdict after landing blow to Man City's hopes

Wolves captain Conor Coady is refusing to get carried away about Liverpool's chance of winning the Premier League.

The English centre-back came through the ranks at Anfield and spent 15 years at the club before making his move to Huddersfield Town in 2014.

As a result, Coady's whole family are big Liverpool fans, giving them more than one reason to celebrate after Wolves' shock 2-0 win at the Etihad Stadium which ensured the Anfield club went into the international break with an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

With Liverpool in prime position to claim their first league title in 30 years, Coady was asked about his predictions for the season on Soccer AM.

The Wolves skipper explained he is refusing to take anything for granted with 30 games still remaining and admitted it is still a weird feeling when he plays against his boyhood club.

"It's a weird feeling, when I play against them I want to win more than ever. I don't know why that is. I just do," said Coady.

"I know it's early doors, but I think with Liverpool this year they don't seem to be panicking.

"People are talking about them conceding and not keeping clean sheets but when they do they think it's okay cause we can score another. City seemed like that last year.

"With Liverpool, they missed out on the Champions League the year before and then they kick on again because the manager is that good.

"I don't want to speak too soon but they look to be going [up] again which is so good to see for them."
