West Ham No.9 Michail Antonio has now sent a message to Manchester City regarding the Premier League title.
The 33-year-old made the comments when speaking on The Players Channel podcast.
So, what did Michail Antonio say? Let’s take a look…
Michail Antonio sends message to Manchester City
Well, the £7m Jamaica international ordered Manchester City to beat Liverpool to the Premier League title – purely because he has no desire to see the Reds win the league.
Antonio said: “I don’t want Liverpool to win the league, because you Liverpool fans are still in my inbox. Get lost!
“I’m saying it with chest. I don’t want Liverpool to win the league… Man City, get it. That’s all I have to say about that.”
Antonio claimed back in September – when speaking on The Footballer’s Football podcast – that West Ham will finish above Jürgen Klopp’s side this season, hence the reason for Liverpool supporters getting on his back.
Manchester City are favourites to win the Premier League title
In our view, Manchester City will storm to a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
The Citizens are currently five points behind Liverpool – albeit with a game in hand – but have Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne nearing a return to the starting XI.
As far as January boosts go, it does not get much better – Paul Merson has even admitted that he finds it mind blowing that Manchester City can welcome “£200m worth of talent” back into the fold this month.
Manchester City also do not have a single star missing due to the Africa Cup of Nations or the Asian Cup, whereas Liverpool have lost Mohamed Salah of all players.
Not only that, but Guardiola’s side are by far the most experienced of those around the top of the Premier League, so Manchester City will possess the knowhow of what to do when the title race potentially becomes tense.
