Jamie Carragher believes that Manchester City are almost in a ‘mini-crisis’ after their 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday extended their winless run across all competitions to seven straight matches.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester City fell to a fourth straight defeat in the Premier League<\/a> on Sunday, losing 2-0 to title rivals Liverpool, and former England defender Jamie Carragher believes that the club is in a ‘mini-crisis’ following the result.<\/p>\n

Winless in seven, City’s poor run started at the end of October with a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham<\/a> in the Carabao Cup, and they have since lost to the likes of Bournemouth, Sporting and Brighton, as well as Spurs for a second time.<\/p>\n

The second loss to Spurs was particularly damaging, a 4-0 league defeat at the Etihad<\/a>, and they followed that up by throwing away a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League, a result that leaves them in 17th place in the league phase table after five matches.<\/p>\n

In the league, meanwhile, they are a whopping 11 points adrift of the league-leading Reds following Sunday’s result and are currently outside of the top four in fifth place, level on points with fourth place Brighton.<\/p>\n

Jamie Carragher: Manchester City Almost In ‘Mini-Crisis’<\/h2>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Sky Sports<\/em> following his former side’s victory at Anfield, Carragher said: “I don’t think there’s any way back for Manchester City<\/a> now,” in reference to the title race.<\/p>\n

He continued: “Right now I could see Man City losing another four or five games between now and the end of the season.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s almost a mini-crisis at Manchester City. I think it’s reminiscent of Liverpool<\/a> two years ago, and I think City might have a fight on their hands for top four.”<\/p>\n

The Cityzens return to league action on Wednesday against sixth place Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

Despite their poor form as of late, the UK’s best football betting sites<\/a> have the reigning champions as clear favourites to prevail in that one, as they bid to put an end to their seven-game winless run across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Bookmakers also have City as third favourites to finish the season in the top four, behind Liverpool and Arsenal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
