Manchester City and Liverpool’s dominance is set to continue for ‘the next few years’, according to a Reds legend.
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp’s team were involved in a two-horse race for the Premier League title this season, with City winning by just one point. When they came back from 2-0 at home against Aston Villa, the Blues managed to score three times in five minutes to dismiss Liverpool.
Klopp’s team won in the FA and League Cups, but their season ended in disappointment after defeat to Real Madrid in last Saturday’s Champions League final. Despite this, Mark Lawrenson believes City and the Reds are ready to dominate football in England for a while yet.

On behalf of 888sport, Lawrenson said: “I do not see anyone challenging City or Liverpool in the next few years. Clearly, Chelsea’s sales have gone through now and Tuchel will have the money to spend and improve on what is already there. a great team.
“Spurs and Arsenal still have a long way to go before they are close to Liverpool or Man City. It will obviously take Newcastle a few years to get to the top.”
City will be strengthened this summer with the arrival of Erling Haaland Julian Alvarez. Blues president Khaldoon Al Mubarak promised that other new faces will arrive at the Etihad in the close season.
