The former winger believes Jurgen Klopp's side are still behind the Premier League champions, but are the closest rivals for Pep Guardiola's men
Liverpool legend John Barnes believes that Jurgen Klopp's side are 'clear second favourites' in the Premier League title race.
The Reds and Manchester City are the only two teams in the league yet to lose a game this season, although Pep Guardiola's side top the table by two points.
And, while Barnes is pleased with the progress his old side have made under manager Klopp, elevating them above much of the chasing pack, he feels that City are still favourites for the league title.
