Fernandinho believes Manchester City are already too far behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
The Reds hold a 17-point advantage over the champions, prior to their trip to Arsenal on Sunday.
Liverpool’s relentless quest to finally end the wait for league glory continued on Saturday, following their 2-0 win at home to Watford.
Many are of the opinion that Jurgen Klopp’s men are already too far ahead of City and Fernandinho seemingly agrees.
Speaking prior to his side’s clash with Arsenal, the Brazilian conceded defeat in the title race:
It’s been really tough, really hard for us. I would have preferred to be closer to Liverpool. Maybe we thought after four titles one season, we believed something we are not.
The reality of sport is to make you (win) again and again. Sometimes you have to live it.
There isn’t a thought in my head about Liverpool. It is far away. First we have to think about (second place) Leicester.

While Liverpool may be in pole position to be crowned champions this season, they still have plenty of work to do.
Fernandinho’s comments may be an attempt at reverse psychology, with City more than capable of going on an unstoppable winning run.
Klopp and his players won’t get carried away at any point, remaining professional as the campaign progresses.
