Rio Ferdinand says Manchester City look 'too comfortable' in their games when asked whether Liverpool will be able to catch their rivals in the title race.
The Reds are currently nine points behind Pep Guardiola's side in the table, but they do have a game in hand after their Boxing Day clash with Leeds United was rescheduled and will take place next week.
Liverpool will also hope to close the gap when they go to the Etihad in early April, a game that could decide the title should they keep on City's tail.
Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand believes City are in cruise control, though, and can't see them dropping any points.

“Points-wise it’s not over, but I just believe that City look too comfortable in their games," he said in the latest episode of Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE.
"City look like they're in total control all the time.
"There's no topsy-turvey games or moments where you go 'oh my god they're on the ropes they're going to get beat here'. They're in cruise control.
"By the way, Pep Guardiola is doing this without a recognised striker in his team.
"He's basically put his middle finger up to the whole league and all of the media who were doubting him at the beginning of the season and said 'listen, have that and we're going to win the league doing it as well'."
