Brazil legend, Pele throws his weight behind Liverpool to carry the title

The English Premier draws attention all across the globe and football legends and pundits are no different, they throw their weights behind their teams as well as making predictions where possible and former Brazil Legend Pele is not left behind.

Brazil legend Pele says he is confident Liverpool will go on to win the English Premier league.

The striker made his comment on Twitter, where he wished a happy birthday to his friend Sir Kenny Dalglish.

Pele said that he backed and threw weight behind Liverpool to win the Premier League title before the season and he is sticking by his prediction regardless of whatever the race looks like.

Liverpool are one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table with nine games remaining after loosing two crucial points in a Marseyside derby to Everton.

Pele’s show of faith is encouraging for the Reds who are fighting at the top with Manchester City in an attempt to bag the title for the 20th time.

The three time World Cup winner has a record of making botched predictions.

From tipping Colombia to win the 1994 World Cup (eliminated in the group stages), backing an African country to win the World Cup before the year 2000, he doesn’t have the greatest record.

For Liverpool to even be in the running at this point for the title makes this one of his better tips.
