Liverpool midfielder James Milner has explained why watching Manchester City is a 'waste of energy' as the two teams remain locked in a race for the Premier League title.
Pep Guardiola's side are firmly in control as they sit three points clear of the Reds at the summit with two games remaining. It would take at least one defeat and a huge shift in goal difference for Liverpool to clinch the title this term.
It's still expected to go right to the wire, but Milner admits he cannot watch a rivals' games as he 'can't do anything' about the result.

“I never, ever watch their games,” he told The Athletic. “It was the same when I was at City and it was going down to the wire. You sit there, so tense, hoping, a waste of energy. I can’t do anything about it.
“They’re an unbelievable team. They’re relentless, too. You go back to 2019 when we got to 97 points, an incredible number, and still didn’t win the league. They’re just so good. With them, you need to take your chances. It’s good and bad we’re playing at the same time as them.”
