Liverpool's eight-point Premier League lead over Man City branded 'insignificant' as club legend Sergio Aguero backs Pep Guardiola's side to repeat famous feat of 2011-12 season

<p>Another intriguing weekend of Premier League action saw Liverpool extend their lead over defending champions Manchester City to eight points. The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-southampton-mohamed-salah-virgil-van-dijk/blt0e0a8ede9d187315" target="_blank">Reds saw off struggling Southampton at St Mary's</a> to maintain their impressive start to the season, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-tottenham-erling-haaland-savinho-josko-gvardiol/bltc1947d13b97fc551" target="_blank">Manchester City crashed to a fifth-straight defeat</a> in all competitions to Tottenham.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Liverpool's healthy lead after 12 games ensures Arne Slot's team are now red-hot favourites to claim the Premier League title. However, Aguero says there is still a long way to go in the title race and is backing Pep Guardiola's side to produce another stunning comeback, like the one he played a central role in in 2012 as City claimed the title on the final day having chased down Manchester United.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Aguero told <a href="https://stake.com/blog/sergio-aguero-2024-25-premier-league-la-liga-predictions-interview" target="_blank"><em>Stake.com</em></a>: “Pundits are always quick to call the race and my response is always the same: it ain't over until it's over. The current point advantage may be insignificant by the end of the season. We've seen that happen frequently. The 2011-12 season had us eight points below United and we took that trophy. Of course, beating Liverpool will certainly help, but it's not wise to make such sweeping statements when the tournament still has a long way to go.”</p>

WHAT AGUERO SAID

<p>Manchester City do have the chance to cut the gap on Liverpool on Sunday when the two teams meet at Anfield in the Premier League. Victory for the Cityzens will leave Guardiola's men just five points behind, but another defeat will see Liverpool move 11 points clear of their title rivals.</p>
