Rafa Benitez, a former Real Madrid and Liverpool manager, predicts that Manchester City will win the Premier League this year.

On Sunday, Arsenal and Liverpool suffered shock defeats to Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, respectively, putting City two points clear at the top.

Benitez believes there will be more missed opportunities with six games remaining for all three clubs, but Pep Guardiola’s team will prevail.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “Manchester City are playing with a lot of confidence. They have a good squad – they can change three or four players and still win easily.

“Can I see them making similar mistakes as Liverpool and Arsenal did this weekend? Yes, I can. But at the same time the others could make mistakes so I think City have a great advantage.’

“I watched both games and Liverpool had some bad luck because they had some great chances.

“A similar thing happened with Arsenal, they were better in the first half but then they lost control of the game and they were suffering. I think, like Liverpool, being in this position where they cannot lose games or drop points affected them.”
