In a recent interview, former Premier League player Wayne Rooney shared his thoughts on who he thinks will win the title this season. Despite Liverpool's disappointing 2-2 draw against Manchester United, Rooney believes that they have what it takes to come out on top.
Liverpool dominated the game at Old Trafford, but their lack of efficiency in front of goal cost them dearly. After a goal from Luis Diaz, an error from defender Jarell Quansah allowed Bruno Fernandes to score a spectacular long-range shot, putting United ahead. England's Kobbie Mainoo then extended their lead with a brilliant strike, but Liverpool managed to salvage a point with a late penalty from Mohamed Salah.
The draw was a frustrating result for Liverpool, who were hoping to go two points ahead of Arsenal and three above defending champions Manchester City. However, they now sit in second place, level on points with Arsenal but with an inferior goal difference. Meanwhile, Manchester City are not far behind in third place after their 4-2 victory against Crystal Palace.
With only seven games left to play, Rooney believes that Liverpool will ultimately come out on top in what will be Jurgen Klopp's final season at Anfield. "There's still such a long time to go," he said in an interview with Premier League Productions. "I know it's only seven games, but a lot can happen between now and the end of the season. I still think Liverpool will nick it."
While Liverpool are aiming to give Klopp a memorable send-off, Manchester City are looking to make history by winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title under Pep Guardiola. Arsenal, on the other hand, are hoping to end their 20-year wait for a league title.
Despite sitting five places and 21 points below their arch-rivals Liverpool, Manchester United manager Jurgen Klopp dismissed the notion that his team dropped two points in their draw. He believes that they should have won the game, as they had plenty of chances to score in the first half.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk also shared his disappointment with the draw, stating that it "felt like a defeat." He pointed out that they had numerous opportunities to finish the game off, but individual mistakes cost them dearly.
This result puts Liverpool's Premier League aspirations on hold for the time being, as they prepare for their Champions League quarter-final against Atalanta. As for Manchester United, they will face Bournemouth in their next match.
Despite the intense competition at the top of the table, it is clear that both Liverpool and Manchester United are determined to come out on top. With the season coming to a close, it will be interesting to see who will ultimately lift the Premier League trophy.
