'I think Liverpool could run away with it': Graeme Souness backs Jurgen Klopp's men to easily retain the Premier League title after Manchester City's horror show against Leicester

Graeme Souness has said he reckons Liverpool could 'run away' with the Premier League after Manchester City's staggering 5-2 defeat to Leicester.

Manchester City's defensive frailties from last season were back in full-force as Pep Guardiola's side were comfortably beaten at the Etihad Stadium.

They didn't do themselves any favours too with defenders Eric Garcia, Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy all giving away sloppy penalties.
