Title in our hands after Liverpool draw: Manchester City’s Walker

Kyle Walker of Manchester City

Kyle Walker believes Manchester City can take heart from their draw with Premier League title rivals Liverpool. Sunday's 2-2 draw at the Etihad left reigning champions City one point ahead of second-placed Liverpool at the top of the table with seven games remaining. "Of course, we want to win every game, especially when people come to our own patch, but it's very important not to lose the game," Walker told reporters.

"We can't lose a game [like this] and then be trailing them because good teams don't drop too many points. You take a point, you move on and they've still got to catch us. It's in our hands, we're still top of the Premier League. That's an important message we need to hold on to and take into the next couple of games, which are important," he added.

Goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus either side of a Diogo Jota strike put leaders City 2-1 up at half-time but Sadio Mane levelled seconds after the restart to change the tone of the match. City are not in league action again until they are at home to Brighton on April 20. Before that match, they travel to Spain for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday and then face Liverpool again, in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
