Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has claimed that Liverpool will win their first ever Premier League title this season.
The Reds beat Manchester City 3-1 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon to open up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Jurgen Klopp's side are nine points clear of City, meanwhile, with the English champions suffering their third league defeat of the campaign at Anfield.
Mourinho - out of work since being sacked by United last December - has claimed that Liverpool will not relinquish control of first position as they are now the "complete puzzle".
"If you are behind [in the title race], you have to feel like you can reach them. If you are top of the league with a big advantage, you have to feel like it is not over," Mourinho told Sky Sports News.
"But I am not there, I'm here. And here, from my position, I think it's done unless something dramatic happens in terms of an injury situation that breaks the team.
"But I think the team is a complete puzzle. I feel the way they play is adapted to the qualities of the players. City are capable of winning seven, eight, nine matches in a row, but I can't see how Liverpool can lose this advantage of nine points to them."
The Champions League holders will attempt to make it seven straight wins in all competitions when they travel to Crystal Palace in the Premier League after the international break.
