Pep Guardiola claimed the entire country want Liverpool to win the Premier League title.
Manchester City went three points clear of Jurgen Klopp's side by hammering Newcastle United 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The defending champions will lift a fourth title in five years if they win their remaining three matches - starting at Wolves on Wednesday - and Guardiola believes that will upset the nation.
'Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone,' Guardiola said.
