Brazil football legend, Pele, has backed Liverpool to win this season’s Premier League title ahead of Manchester City.
The Reds are currently in second place, one point behind City, following their 0-0 draw with Merseyside rivals Everton on Sunday.
However, Pele, in a social media birthday post to Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish, still thinks the Reds will overcome Pep Guardiola’s men in the title race.
