There is only a one-point gap between first and second, though, and Rush told talkSPORT there is still plenty of time to move back above Pep Guardiolas Blues.While their defensive strength has not wavered, Liverpools goalscoring ability has dried up in recent weeks with the Reds drawing five of their last seven games in all competitions.This has allowed City to re-take the lead at the Premier League summit, but the Anfield great believes Liverpool actually have the advantage.I think Liverpool are better coming from behind, goalscoring icon Rush said on Mondays Sports Breakfast. When youre top, everyone wants to beat you, but when youre second, I think Liverpool prefer to be in that position.Im very confident, to tell you the truth.Yes, Manchester City have a great manager and a great squad, but therell be a few ups and downs before the end of the season.I just feel with the run-in Liverpool have, weve got Man United out of the way, weve got Everton out of the wayIf you dont beat Chelsea and Tottenham at home, maybe you dont deserve to win the title, but weve got home support in those games and the other games are all winnable. So Im quite confident.Will Jurgen Klopp lead Liverpool to Premier League glory this season?2

Also, will Liverpool and Man City still be in the Champions League? That could play a major part as well.I think its all to play for.Liverpool are 17 points better off than they were at the same stage last season, and Rush is confident his former side can cap a brilliant campaign with their first league title in 29 years.The former Wales striker added: Last year, Man City had already won the league already, so thats how much Liverpool have progressed.Theyre putting the champions under pressure, so lets see what they can do.
