Liverpool hero Dean Saunders can't believe any neutral wouldn't want his old club to win the Premier League title.

Liverpool are battling Manchester City for their first league title since 1990, and are currently two points clear of the champions having played one game more.

He told talkSPORT: "I don't get it. I can understand why people don't like Man City, because they think they have bought the title.

"They think rich people have come in and lifted City to the top. I'm not saying they're right, but that's the reason.

"Why would you not like Liverpool? I'm not saying that because my dad played for them and I played for them. What is there to not like?

"The manager is a decent bloke, the club have won everything the right way, they don't lump it, they're not aggressive – OK, you've got Luis Suarez and Graeme Souness.

"Maybe it's because Bill Shankly has put the club on its road, taken over by Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, maybe people don't like that, perhaps they are a bit jealous. Because of the way Liverpool have come right through the history of football, and then there are other teams who have just arrived there through cash."
