Liverpool great Robbie Fowler says their title defence is over.

Jurgen Klopp's champions host league leaders Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday knowing that a defeat will deal a serious blow to their aspirations of retiring the title this campaign.

Former City striker Fowler told the Mirror: "I do think the title has gone for Jurgen Klopp, in fairness. Not that they'll be saying that in the dressing room.

"You always think if you can win the next game things can turn around, they will still believe if they can give everything then they will have half a chance.

"But I just can't see it – I can't see City losing the number of games they'd need to open up the title race. They've gone 20 games unbeaten now in all competitions, and they will think they're back to their very best."
