Former Man City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has hailed Liverpool and said he would rather watch the Reds than his old side.

Liverpool stormed 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League table after a 1-0 win at Norwich yesterday.

And Eriksson believes this team have "everything" as title glory now looks certain.

The Swede told the Sunday Times:"This Liverpool have everything, and the best thing they did is buy [Virgil] van Dijk.

“You can attack with a lot of people because he will always sort out one against one at the back. If you have Van Dijk you can do whatever you want, he is out of this world.”

Asked which team he prefers watching, the 72-year-old said: "Today? Liverpool.

"A couple of years ago, City were extremely good but I don’t think you can compete with the same hunger year after year, changing not too many players. [Pep Guardiola] is intense.

“I have a good example of that. Arrigo Sacchi slowly killed the players [at AC Milan], he asked too much. I got Ruud Gullit in Sampdoria, coming from Milan, and we talked about Sacchi.

“He told me that one day he, [Frank] Rijkaard and [Marco] van Basten went to see [the AC Milan owner Silvio] Berlusconi: ‘Us or him, Berlusconi, you have to choose, not one day more.’"

And Reds supporter Eriksson reminisced about past visits to Anfield as he considered the prospect of a first league title win since 1990.

He added: “Finally. After many years. I’ve always been a Liverpool fan.

“I went there many times when I was a youngster, became very friendly with Joe Fagan. I was invited in the Boot Room, that was incredible.

“They said, ‘Talk whatever you want Sven, but not the game, please.’ I said, ‘When do you talk about the game you just played?’

"‘'Yes, Sven, tomorrow, 11am, here at the stadium when the wives are making the Sunday lunch, we take a drink and we talk about the game we played'.”
