Jose Mourinho says the internal structure of Liverpool and Manchester City has them streets ahead of the remainder of the Premier League.

Mourinho has praised the "harmony" at the two clubs, saying there is chemistry between them that stems from the owner to the players, with everyone on the same page working towards the same goal.

"I think the structure of the clubs," Mourinho told The Telegraph.

"When you look at City, for example: the owner, Ferran Soriano [chief executive], Txiki Begiristain [director of football], Pep Guardiola, Pep's staff and then the players.

"This looks like harmony, empathy, chemistry, quality, sharing the same project, sharing the same ideas.

"Liverpool? I also think that Jurgen [Klopp] is in a good position. He is very stable.

"I think he has control of his 'areas'. He is supported by people who think the same way, the structure of the club."
