Roy Keane predicts Premier League title winner with Liverpool and Man City in the mix

Roy Keane acknowledges that Liverpool’s name is already on the Premier League title after Man City’s capitulation against Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola’s men were beaten 5-2 at home against the Foxes, despite taking the lead in the fourth minute through Riyad Mahrez.

Former Manchester United captain Keane is confident Guardiola will fulfill the remainder of his contract at Etihad, which expires in 2021.

But the Irishman has suggested that a change of personnel in the City dressing room next season may be the order of the day as he does not believe Liverpool will be caught this season.

“I still think Pep will reach the end of his contract,” Keane said on Sky Sports. “I still think it’s surprising that we’re even questioning where City is.

“But I think the signs from the last week … I still think they are getting over the loss of Kompany. We can’t appreciate the loss that was for that football club.

“Obviously we all watched him on the weekends, but I think what the guy probably used to do during the week, he was a great leader to them, certainly a great character.

“What I saw yesterday, lack of leadership, lack of characters. Okay, Leicester is a very good team and they are good going forward and a great credit to them.

“They talk about Pep, obviously, a guy with a lot of intensity, it’s his fifth year at the club, and sometimes maybe players, and it sounds crazy to say it, but sometimes he gets tired of the same voice, it’s nature.” of the modern footballer.

“What I saw yesterday, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This new signing or someone else this week could come in and do well.

“[But] in terms of City closing the gap with Liverpool, forget it. I can not see it “.
