Walters wants Liverpool to win the Premier League title this season

But Walters appears to one of the few Everton supporters who want their cross-town foes to be crowned champions this season.I grew up an Everton fan, but I would rather Liverpool win the title than Manchester City, he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.I quite enjoy what Klopp brings to Liverpool, the way Liverpool play and what theyve done over the last couple of years.I quite enjoy watching them.3

Liverpool have been brilliant this season, but have suffered a slight blip in recent games

Saying that, I do like Man City, but being from the city of Liverpool I would rather Liverpool win the league than Man City.Citys victory over Everton saw them overtake Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table on goal difference for the time being, anyway.Liverpool have a game in hand and, after conceding ground in the title race with back-to-back draws against Leicester and West Ham, Jurgen Klopps side cant afford to lose any more points. If they do let their once-seven point lead slip, it will be another oh-so near for the German boss, who is yet to win any silverware in four years with the Reds despite taking them to three cup finals.And Walters added on talkSPORT: Klopp has got to win something.3

Is Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool side feeling the strain?

Hes been at the club for a number of years now and with the money spentI think hes got to bring something to the club, hes got to win something and with the position theyre in now, its in their hands.Theyre joint top of the league wit ha game in hand and there are so many games until the end of the season, its for them to decide I think.Listen back to Jon Walters on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
