Former Manchester United and Everton manager, David Moyes has backed Jurgen Klopp’s side to win the 2019/2020 English Premier League (EPL) title ahead of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City this season.
According to him, the UEFA Champions League winners have a significant advantage over Guardiola’s men to win the English top-flight league this season.
Guardiola’s City amassed 98 points during the 2018/2019 campaign but won the league on the final day of the season by just one point ahead of Liverpool.
Asked whether Liverpool can win the EPL ahead of Man City this season, Moyes told beIN SPORTS: “Yes, I think so.
“I thought they were a very good team last year and they are this year as well.
“If they can keep the front three fit – Firmino is so important to the team.”
Moyes added: “They look to me as if they [Liverpool] have the strongest defence.
“Because of that, I think that gives them the edge.
“Man City have given teams some real good opportunities, I don’t see it quite as much with Liverpool.”
Liverpool are currently on top of the EPL table with 21 points from seven matches, while Man City are second placed with 16 points from the same number of games.
