“Two seasons ago, there was the owner of the Premier League who said that could not happen again, it’s not good for the Premier League for City to win the title in that way, with 100 points,” expressed furious Pep Guardiola. “Now it’s Liverpool, you have to be concerned if you are the owner of the Premier League.”
Liverpool have dropped only 2 points in the season so far. They are very likely to reach the 100 points mark. The Reds have already bagged 73 points with 24 wins in 25 league games.
