Premier League captain favors Liverpool to win the title
By Josh Ricker
Coming hot off a 4-0 win in the Champion’s League against Red Star Belgrade, Liverpool return to the Premier League this weekend to face Cardiff.
According to Sky Sports, Cardiff City captain Sean Morrison actually thinks the Reds will win the league this season.
"“I would love Liverpool to win it just because for them to get a Premier League would be fantastic for the club and for the city,” he said. “It’s such a famous club and there’s so much history behind it, but it’s going to take a lot to stop Man City”"
It is a good sight to see when other leaders are cheering for Liverpool over City. It’s unique for a player, especially a captain to say that before playing the opponent, but it seems as if Jurgen Klopp’s team have gained a level of top respect in the league over the past couple years.
It will be tough for Cardiff to put up a fight against Liverpool, but nevertheless we must not overlook them as a club and fan base.
