Ilkay Gundogan admits defeat at Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday could end Manchester City's Premier League title challenge as they scramble to end their poor run of form. City have won the past four Premier League titles but are already eight points behind Arne Slot's Liverpool following three straight defeats in the English top flight.

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan says travelling to Liverpool on Sunday will be as tough as it has ever been given City's recent performances and results. A trip to Anfield is probably the last thing Pep Guardiola will want after blowing a 3-0 lead over Feyenoord on Tuesday in the Champions League but Gundogan is hopeful a result could give them "the chance for a boost".

Ilkay Gundogan has admitted Manchester City's Premier League title hopes could be over if they lose to Liverpool at the weekend. Pep Guardiola's side travel to Merseyside on Sunday having squandered a 3-0 lead inside the final 15 minutes to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday.
