Former Real Madrid coach, Rafa Benitez is of the opinion that Manchester City holds a significant edge in clinching the Premier League title this season, surpassing both Liverpool and Arsenal.

Benitez expressed this sentiment in light of recent setbacks for Liverpool and Arsenal, who both dropped points against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa over the weekend.

Speaking with Sky Sports, Benitez predicted that while there may be more points lost along the way, Pep Guardiola’s squad will ultimately emerge as the league leaders.

“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.”
