Owen explains how the PL title race is about to change
Michael Owen thinks Manchester City’s “difficult finish” to the season could have a baring on the destination of the Premier League title.
The Citizens are currently a point ahead of closest rivals Liverpool at the top of the Premier League after Jurgen Klopp’s men could only manage a 0-0 draw at local rivals Everton on Sunday.
10 points from a possible 18 in their last six Premier League matches has seen Pep Guardiola’s outfit move to the top of the table but Owen thinks City have a trickier run-in.
“It looks like it’s a two-horse race,” Owen told Goal.
“There’s only Manchester City and Liverpool that are potentially going to win the Premier League.
“I’ll feel sorry for whoever doesn’t because in any other year the second team would’ve won the Premier League by maybe ten points.
“This year has been an exceptional standard and it’s going to go a long way yet.
“Liverpool now have played in recent weeks Everton away, Manchester United away and okay, their points have dropped a little bit, but now it changes.
“Now Manchester City have a more difficult finish.”
