Former Manchester City star Joleon Lescott has claimed that Liverpool have the edge over his former side ahead of the clash between the two sides in the Premier League on Saturday.
Both sides have yet to lose in the League this season and this promises to be a fixture which will be mouth-watering.
Both teams have had their defences criticized this season. Lescott however feels that it is the Reds who are a slightly stronger side as City captain Vincent Kompany is known to suffer from recurring injury problems.
He said, “That’s no disrespect to the defenders on show. I just think the attacking prowess they’ve got in both teams that enhances the fact it will be a test for both defences.
“But there’s no weak defence out of those two, I would say. At this moment in time probably Liverpool (have the better defence) because they’ve played with each other a lot longer than Man City.
“As time will progress I’m sure the likes of Vinny (Vincent Kompany) staying fit throughout the season they should show that overall they have one of the best defences in the league.”
