Virgil van Dijk admits the Premier League title is 'Man City's to lose' after Liverpool blew a 2-0 lead at rivals Chelsea to sink 11 points behind the defending champions

Liverpool are sliding out of the title race and Virgil van Dijk knows it, admitting that Manchester City are the firm favourites to take back-to-back Premier Leagues.

The Reds had built a 2-0 lead at Stamford Bridge by the 28th minute but a roaring Chelsea comeback late in the first-half equalised. With Jurgen Klopp watching from isolation, they dropped yet more points as City keep winning.

Kevin De Bruyne and Co are running away with it, 10 points clear of Chelsea and 11 ahead of Liverpool in third. The Anfield side have won just once in four games.
