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 levelled the game. With Jurgen Klopp watching from isolation, they dropped yet more points, but City keep winning.
Kevin De Bruyne and Co are running away at the top, 10 points clear of Chelsea and 11 ahead of Liverpool in third.
