Ex-Red and pundit Danny Murphy believes neutrals should back Liverpool to win the Premier League title this season over Manchester City
The title race is expected to go right to the wire as just a single point separates both teams in the table. Neither side was able to gain a huge advantage following Sunday's 2-2 draw at the Etihad.
Twice Jurgen Klopp 's side clawed back after going behind to draw level and ensure City's lead didn't increase, although it still remains in their hands for the run-in.
Both managers have received plenty of praise for their achievements in the Premier League, but Murphy believes the job Klopp has done at Anfield is 'more remarkable' than the one Guardiola has done at City. Despite the Manchester club winning three of the last four league titles and becoming centurions in 2017/18.
"The way Liverpool have done it is remarkable," he told talkSPORT. "They keep finding diamonds in the rough and polishing them up to become superstars.
"Although the admiration is there for what Pep does with Man City's players, because even though he brings in ready-made players, he still makes them better. So they both deserve credit for that.
"But I think the way Liverpool have done it is more admirable, in that respect. The type of of players they bring in and build them. I think as well from a neutral standpoint, which City fans probably don't think I'm capable, but you've got to want Liverpool to win it!
"You don't want a one team dominance in any football league in Europe because it becomes tedious and boring."
