Alisson believes Manchester City and not Liverpool are the favourites to win the title

Alisson feels that his team have got the talent and the ambition to win the title

Liverpool shot-stopper Alisson believes the Reds have a good enough squad to beat Manchester City to the Premier League crown but City can spring a surprise in the remaining 15 games and come back stronger in the title challenge.

Jurgen Klopp’s men reached the finals of the Champions League last term and they are currently four points clear of City at the top of the table.

Alisson also feels that his team have got the talent and the ambition to put an end to their trophy drought, with the Reds in pursuit of the first league title in 28 years.

“Liverpool now have the quality to fight for the biggest trophies, there is no doubt about it,” the Brazilian told reporters.

“But there’s a long way ahead of us and it’s important to be sure where we are going.

“City proved their strength by winning the league comfortably last year. They have also invested for this season, so their team is even ­better now. They are very tough ­opponents and the big favourites.

“However, we also have our ambition to win the league this season and I believe in our talent to go all the way. But we have to think step by step and make sure we keep our feet on the ground.”

Up next for Liverpool is a home game against Leicester on Wednesday while City will travel to Newcastle.
