John Barnes is confident Liverpool will end their long wait for a Premier League title this season.The Anfield legend believes Jurgen Klopps men have handled the pressure better than defending champions Manchester City this season and are in a great position heading into the second-half of the campaign.5

Jurgen Klopp has led his side to the top of the table

The Reds, who are still unbeaten in the league, currently sit six points clear at the top of the table.City have slipped to third and are seven points adrift of Liverpool after a blip in form, losing back-to-back games against Crystal Palace and Leicester.Barnes was part of the Reds side which last won a league championship in 1990.5

Last season we remember how fantastic Man City were and I always thought, how would they cope when the pressure was on?The two times you can say a bit of pressure was on was against Manchester United at home to win the league, which they didnt win, and of course in the Champions League against Liverpool.5

City wasted their chance to win the Premier League title against rivals Man United last season. They were 2-0 up but ended up losing 3-2 at the Etihad.

When everything is going well for Manchester City, when theyre top of the league comfortably with no pressure, I think theyre the best team in the world.But from a character point of view they have struggled in their last two games.I think the opposite of Liverpool. With Jurgen Klopp and the demands he puts on those players, regardless of its a big game or a smaller game, they perform.5

Liverpool have yet to lose in the Premier League this season

Over the last couple of years I never felt the games against Man City, Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham were important because we always did well against them, it was against the smaller teams where we fell down.Whereas now, we dont lose those smaller games.So I believe if we can do well in the big games against the likes of Man City and Tottenham, I think we will win the league.Very much like Man City last year, I just cant see us going down against the smaller teams.You can listen to live commentary of Liverpool vs Arsenal on talkSPORT this Saturday, kick-off 17:30
