"Manchester City are playing with a lot of confidence,"
"Liverpool had some bad luck with the finishing because they had some chances [vs Crystal Palace] but it was still complicated."
Benitez added:
"They [Man City] have a good squad, they can change three or four players and still win easily, so they know the strengths that they have.
"Can I see them making similar mistakes as Liverpool and Arsenal did this weekend? Yes, I can.
“But at the same time, the others could make mistakes so I think City have a great advantage
