Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has played down his side's chances of winning the Premier League title by suggesting that it is Manchester City's to lose.
City are currently fourth in the table, nine points behind leaders Chelsea, but the North-West outfit have three games in hand.
While Rodgers has insisted that he is not one for mind games, the Northern Irishman believes that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is right to claim that City are favourites to become champions.
"It is not about playing down expectations or mind games, it is just about taking a humble approach to the season and how we have worked and because the players are doing all the talking on the field," Rodgers told talkSPORT.
"[Mourinho] is right in saying Manchester City are the club that has the power, in terms of squad. They have three games in hand. Win them and they go the top, and they will expect to win them."
Liverpool are currently second in the table, seven points behind Chelsea with one game in hand.
