Man City still title favourites but Liverpool a 'good chance' - Tottenham's Sherwood

Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood suggests Manchester City will come out on top in this season's Premier League race.

Spurs were brushed aside 4-0 by Liverpool on Sunday which saw the Reds go top of the table but Sherwood believes City, who are four points behind with two games in hand, have it set up for themselves.

In saying that, however, Sherwood did recommend that a bit of defensive stability would push Brendan Rodgers' men towards an elusive Premier League title.

"I would still go with Manchester City," he told Sky Sports when asked who he feels will win the premiership.

"Liverpool have done a fantastic job, from last season to this is chalk and cheese. They are still in this race.

"The players they have in the final third are sensational. They run and graft. If they tighten up a bit I think they have a good chance."

He added: "They certainly look a different team, and Liverpool Football Club and Brendan Rodgers take a lot of credit, but we have to pick the boys up."
