Roy Keane has claimed the Premier League title race would be over for Manchester City if they suffer defeat against Liverpool next weekend. <\/p>\n

Arne Slot’s side opened up an eight-point gap on last season’s champions at the top of the table, with the two heavyweights of English football set to face-off at Anfield, live on Sky Sports<\/em>, on Sunday December 1.<\/p>\n

City suffered their fifth defeat in a row when they were beaten 4-0 at home by Tottenham on Saturday – the longest losing streak of Pep Guardiola’s coaching career – and will now play the league leaders in a desperate attempt to keep their title hopes alive.<\/p>\n

“Eight points clear. I bet they cannot believe it,” Keane said following Liverpool’s 3-2 victory against Southampton on Super Sunday<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Liverpool have been excellent and have every chance of winning this title. If they turn up at their very best, with the fans behind them, and beat City – what a statement it would be.<\/p>\n

“It would be over for them [City] next week if they lose to Liverpool.<\/p>\n

“It’s a big test to deal with that expectation. Can City bounce back next week?”<\/p>\n

Redknapp: Dream start for Slot<\/h3>\n

Jamie Redknapp echoed the positivity surrounding Liverpool’s start under Slot, as they continue to benefit from the struggles of both City and Arsenal.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a dream start for them,” Redknapp said on Sky Sports<\/em>. “Man City are struggling and Arsenal have injuries, it is perfect for them right now.<\/p>\n

“Who knows, Liverpool might get an injury and they might have to suffer for a while. So far for Arne Slot, that is where you want to be. Great position for Christmas. Keep everyone fit and keep ticking over.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a Premier League blockbuster over the last few years, especially at Anfield. A lot of those times, City have not got the result they wanted. This will be a change as Liverpool will be favourites, it brings an expectation and more pressure. They might have to be more patient.”<\/p>\n

Salah: We want to stretch the lead<\/h3>\n

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah enjoyed the win over Saints as he scored twice but is well aware of the threat City still pose ahead of their showdown next weekend.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully we keep going in that direction. We have a game against them so hopefully we win it and go ahead by 11 points,” said Salah.<\/p>\n

“Man City is Man City. They had a bad time now but they have a great coach and great players. Hopefully we can beat them.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
