Ilkay Gundogan admits Manchester City’s Premier League title hopes will be over if they lose to Liverpool on Sunday. It has been a nightmare spell for the champions, with five defeats and a draw in their last six outings across all competitions.

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan says travelling to Liverpool on Sunday will be as tough as it has ever been given City's recent performances and results. A trip to Anfield is probably the last thing Pep Guardiola will want after blowing a 3-0 lead over Feyenoord on Tuesday in the Champions League but Gundogan is hopeful a result could give them "the chance for a boost".
