Liverpool outperform Man City in the Premier League Trophy hunt

Graeme Souness called Liverpool currently has an advantage over Manchester City in the race for the Premier League trophy.
This season, Liverpool has a very good start. From five matches, Jürgen Klopp's troops pack five wins.
On the other hand, Man City was a little stunted. Of the five matches, Josep Guardiola's men have lost once and pulled out once.
City were beaten when they met Norwich City at the weekend. Playing Carrow Road, The Citizen was defeated 3-2.

The defeat was not separate from the ranks of poor performance inhabited City defender John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi. Even Otamendi made a fatal mistake where he was negligent for an opponent to steal the ball from him and then score a goal.

Josep Guardiola played Otamendi for an Aymeric Laporte injury and had to be out for about six months. Souness then asked whether the absence of Laporte gave Liverpool an advantage for Liverpool in the race for the EPL trophy.

"I think. With Laporte's injury, I think the city is fighting against a better team. With all due respect to Norwich, they did a number of things about them at the weekend," he told Sky Sports News.
"I think they will survive most of the matches, but against the best teams, they will fight for survival and conceding," he said.

"This is not a big advantage, we must remember that we are still in September, but the first blood was shed in Liverpool. They have momentum and no one asks questions about them while all eyes are on the city," Souness said.
Souness added, Liverpool were now a very strong team and no team enjoyed playing against them. All of this is also because they are a team that plays as a unit.

"They are a team that I think I enjoy playing against them because they are aggressive and they test every part of your game physically and technically they have everything," he said.
"They play as a team. This is not uncommon in modern games, but they have players who are willing to appoint teammates if they don't. That makes them very, very strong," he said.

"They are a team where no one likes to fight, people say it is about the city in a different way. You have to be the best towards them," Souness said.
Currently Liverpool have packed 15 points in the Premier League and above. Meanwhile, Manchester City is ranked second with 10 points.
