Liverpool are four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, but Alisson does not believe that his side lead the way as favourites for the title.
The Brazilian international has helped the Reds to an impressive season, with Jurgen Klopp’s side boasting the best defensive record in the top-flight.
However, as quoted by Goal, the former Roma star discussed the title race and insisted that last season’s winners Manchester City remain in the hot-seat to secure Premier League glory once again.
Alisson claimed that Pep Guardiola’s men are the ‘big favourites’ this term. He said:
City proved their strength by winning the league comfortably last year. They have also invested for this season, so their team is even better now. They are very tough opponents and the big favourites.
However, we also have our ambition to win the league this season and I believe in our talent to go all the way. But we have to think step by step and make sure we keep our feet on the ground.
The goalkeeper did allude to the quality that Liverpool now possess, though, as they continue to go in search of prestigious silverware this season. Alisson said:
Liverpool now have the quality to fight for the biggest trophies, there is no doubt about it. But there’s a long way ahead of us and it’s important to be sure where we are going.
The Reds will be desperate to persist with their efforts to pull away at the top of the league on Wednesday night when they take on Leicester City at Anfield.
