Man City will pull clear in the Premier League title race if they beat Liverpool, warns Gareth Barry - but he admits Pep Guardiola's men will have to overcome 'mental block' of playing at Anfield having not won there in 18 YEARS

Manchester City could run away with the Premier League title race if they beat Liverpool at Anfield this weekend, the club’s former midfielder Gareth Barry has warned.

Both teams have midweek games against opponents in the bottom five – with City away to Burnley on Wednesday night and Liverpool hosting Brighton – before Sunday’s clash that Barry believes could prove pivotal in the title race.

City are currently three points clear at the top with a game in hand over the chasing pack which includes Manchester United and Leicester.
