Liverpool star Milner: Man City experience gives them every chance of clinching title

Published on: 04 March 2016

Liverpool midfielder James Milner believes that experience gives Manchester City an edge in the Premier League title race.

City suffered a huge blow in their hopes of claiming the title following a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool on Wednesday night and the Citizens currently find themselves a sizeable 10 points behind leaders Leicester City at the top of the table.

Many believe that City have squandered their chance of obtaining premiership glory once again but former player Milner does not believe such a notion and has stated that prior experience of lifting the Premier League crown still gives Manuel Pellegrini's side the edge over their rivals.

Milner said: "Sometimes it is easier coming from behind. The first time we won the title we thought we were out of it with six or seven weeks to go.

"That pressure comes off and you start playing freely and winning games.

"United dropped some points and I think it was a scenario whereby we needed to win the last couple of games and we managed to do it. City have a lot of quality and experience and the teams up there don't have that experience.

"They have the experience of winning it, they have a lot of top players who have done it before and a lot of quality. They can win every game between now and the end of the season and if teams see them breathing down their neck.

"They will be disappointed and think it is going to be difficult. But when people say you are out of it that pressure releases and you play with freedom."
