John Stones believes Manchester City is more experienced in the title race tha Liverpool as both team look set to take the center stage in the Premier League this weekend.
Manchester City defender John Stones believes that the Etihad side is more experienced than Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
Both teams will go head-to-head in the Premier League this weekend as the race for who will lift the Premier League title continues.
Liverpool entered the title race when they closed 14 points gap between themselves and City in the League.
But speaking ahead of the match this weekend John Stone believes City have an edge above Liverpool in the title races.
“It came down to the last game [in 2019], so we’ve been in these situations before and the experience of that time we definitely learned from,” Stones said. “We went 14 games unbeaten and we know every game is so important to us.
“We don’t get sucked into all the outside noise and concentrate on what we do. That’s all the time I’ve been here we’ve been very focused and tunnel vision on what’s ahead of us.
“Everyone in that dressing room wants to come out on the winning side and we’ll do everything in our power to do that.”
The clash at the Etihad seen as a title decider but, with eight games still to play, Stones has rejected the suggestion that the winner on Sunday is certain to go on and lift the trophy in May.
“I don’t think so,” the England defender added. “I don’t think about it too much like that because you can get carried away.
“Obviously it’s an important game, we’re 1st and 2nd in the table — everyone knows that — but we have to concentrate on us and how we play our football and don’t change our football.
“We’re human beings and we know what is riding on this game and how important it is to us but every game this season has been a final to us so we don’t approach this any differently.
“There’s obviously that extra buzz about the game personally and what it means but it is just another game. It doesn’t necessarily mean what will end up by the end of the season.”
