Liverpool hero John Barnes is confident the international break won't affect their momentum.
The Reds are on an impressive run of form and have won their last five Premier League games on the bounce. A 2-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates earlier this month means Jurgen Klopp's men sit just one point behind pacesetters and reigning Champions Manchester City.
Barnes told the Daily Star: "City haven't been playing badly, despite the fact they drew the other day when they should have won," he said. “I can see both teams winning the vast majority of their games left this season.
"It's the game that they play one another which will be the decider. City are at home and they are still in the driving seat. I'd make City the slight favourites, but Liverpool have a much better chance than they did six weeks ago.
"The international break will not mean that Liverpool won't go into their next fixture with any momentum. Liverpool have a strong enough squad now to compete at all levels, in all competitions. But both Liverpool and City are playing consistently well and it will go down to the wire."
