Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool need to become centurions to break Manchester City’s domestic dominance.
The Reds made it six wins in as many games this season after a thrilling 2-1 win over Chelsea.
Although these are good signs for Liverpool, the former defender believes the team that wins the Premier League this season has to reach the 100-point mark.
Carragher told Sky Sports after Liverpool’s important away win over Chelsea: “It’s a big one. I think with City and Liverpool, even at this early stage, they look at each other’s fixtures and there’s no doubt when one of them goes away from home to another big side, it’s an opportunity for them to drop points.
“I think for both sides, whether they get there or not, the target has got to be 100 points. City got 100 points two years ago, 98 last season, and you can only drop 14 points then, so a draw is not a good result.
“In the past, 10 or 15 years ago, you go away to United, Chelsea, Arsenal, you get a point and your happy but City have changed that in the last few years, so actually coming away and drawing is not a good result
“To actually get to the three points, and don’t forget the record of Liverpool in these games last season, that’s where they lost the league because City came to these grounds and won, so it is a big one.
“It’s still an early stage, a long way to go, but it’s a big one for Liverpool. For City watching, they’ve had an easy one at home against Watford, but in a few weeks’ time they’ll have this sort of game where they will have to go away and win.”
