Man City ace Gabriel Jesus: We don't need to hope for Liverpool to lose

Manchester City attacker Gabriel Jesus insists title rivals Liverpool aren't on their mind.

Jurgen Klopp's side currently top the table with a two point lead over the defending champions but have played 34 matches, one more than Pep Guardiola's men.

Gabriel told ESPN Brasil: “I don't think we have to root against Liverpool, no. I think we've already passed that part of rooting against.

“I will not say that I want them to win, of course not. But I don't think we have to worry about Liverpool. On the contrary, it depends on us.

“We have five more games, five decisions. If we win all five games, we are the champions again. It just depends on us."
