Liverpool will still beat Manchester City to Premier League title this season, says former Reds star Glen Johnson
Glen Johnson is still backing Liverpool to win the Premier League title.Manchester City pulled level on points with the Reds with a 2-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday night.The defending champions have overtaken Jurgen Klopps side to top the table on goal difference, although Liverpool have a game in hand.The Merseyside club once held a seven point lead at the summit, but have seen that gap cut after suffering their first defeat of the season to City in January, followed by back-to-back draws against Leicester and West Ham.2

Liverpool have let City right back into the title race

Saturdays Premier League clash against Bournemouth provides one of the biggest tests in Klopps tenure as Liverpool boss will they buckle under the pressure or win to recover a three-point lead at the top?Many believe the Reds have already blown their chance, with Man City now the bookmakers’ favourites for the crown.But Johnson has a gut feeling Liverpool will come up with the goods and finally end their 29-year wait for a league title.I think Liverpool will win it, he told talkSPORT host Jim White.City and Liverpool with both drop points, but I just think Liverpools squad is capable is taking this a step further.I know theyve had a couple of not so great results recently, but thats just the Premier League, you cant always perform at your best and they will bounce back. Im quietly confident theyll go on and do it.Of course Manchester City pose a massive threat, and so are Tottenham, but my gut tells me Liverpool will win it.Johnson was part of the Liverpool side which last came closest to the league title in the 2013/14 campaign.They lost out to Manchester City by just two points that season, and the former England international admits it was a painful experience.It was doubly painful because we thought we had it in the bag, he said.We were so, so close and we were playing so well, we thought we were going to be unstoppable.Nobody loses the league in the last two or three games, its across the 36 games.2

Liverpool’s 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace in 2014 proved catastrophic for their title bid

There could be games where you concede a last minute goal and draw when you should of won, its all those accumulative points that youve dropped throughout the season that make you lose the league, its not a one-off incident.The current Liverpool side have been one of the most attractive teams to watch this season, and asked will can make the difference for the Reds in their title run-in, Johnson added: Van Dijk will obviously be a massive player for them, but I personally think Mane.If hes on top of his game, hes such an explosive player he can pop in a goal from nowhere.As long as they are on the top of their game, Liverpool will be right in there.Listen back to Glen Johnson on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above
