Liverpool failed to win Premier League last season despite racking up a club-record haul of 97 points.

The Reds fell just one point short of Manchester City after an intense title race against Pep Guardiola’s side.

And the former Manchester United defender is desperate for history to repeat itself this season.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “If they blow it now, it’s going to be one of the best years I’ve had on Sky!

“Honestly, it would be the most incredible experience to watch this unfold and for them have a 12-point lead and then it dissipate before my eyes.

“I actually hope they have a 12-point lead in March and then really late just fall to pieces!”

The eagle-eyed pundit admitted Liverpool are on track to land their first league title since 1990 as City are failing to impress.

He added: “But I have to say, they’ve shown consistency now for two years, they’ve been playing title-winning football for two years and they’ve amassed points that in any other season would win a title.

“And Man City are well below where they should be.

“Liverpool will have to work hard not to win it now with where they are at. They must think it’s their year.”
