Brazil legend Pele wished Sir Kenny Dalglish on his birthday and even had his say on the Premier League title race.

The Santos star hasn’t always been spot on with his predictions but backed Liverpool to win the title earlier in the season.

Pele then reiterated that the Reds are still his favourites to land the crown, despite losing top spot to Manchester City in the last game week.

The Reds drew with Everton while Manchester City picked up an important win over Bournemouth. The draws against Everton and Manchester United still hurt, but Pele was convinced of Jurgen Klopp lifting the crown.
