"Still some twists and turns to go" - David James names his Premier League title favorites between Liverpool and Manchester City
Former England goalkeeper David James still believes Manchester City will pip Liverpool to the Premier League title. This comes after City's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace, which has given the Reds some more belief in the title-race.
James has stated that the Premier League title race still has a lot to offer going towards the business end of the season.
However, the 51-year-old player-turned-pundit believes Pep Guardiola's side have the edge as they continue to tick off the remaining games. The former goalkeeper said:
"They are dropping points like against Crystal Palace and they haven't scored against Palace, that will be a frustration. But I think with the point that they got, that's one more game.
"Liverpool still need to win all their games in one sense. I feel that Liverpool could be dropping points before the end of the season. I still feel that Manchester City could drop points before the end of the season.
"They can't both win all their games, of course, because they play each other. But there's still some twists and turns to go in this but City are still in the driving seat."
🗣 "City are still in the driving seat."

Manchester City failed to break the Crystal Palace defense as they could only secure a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park.
After dropping two points on Monday, City are only four points clear of second-placed Liverpool. It is worth mentioning that the Reds do have a game in hand.
Jurgen Klopp's side will travel to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday to face an in-form Arsenal side who are chasing a top-four finish. A win against the Gunners would see them just a point behind the Cityzens.
