Its a two-horse race at the top as Liverpool, who last won the league in 1990, and Manchester City battle it out for glory, with it looking like it will go down to the wire.Its a great reason to be out the country when those two are going head to head for the title, Rooney, who plays for MLS side DC United, joked with talkSPORT. Whilst acknowledging City and Liverpool are the two best teams in the country, the 33-year-old clearly has a preference on who he wants to see crowned champions.I hope Man City get over the line before Liverpool, he told the Drivetime show.“I couldnt bear to see them win it, it would be a nightmare for any Evertonian.I remember in 2005 they won the Champions League and theyre still talking about it now so it would be another 10 or 15 years of that!Steven Gerrard led Liverpool to Champions League glory in 2005 and fans still talk about now, says Rooney3

Asked about City and England flyer Raheem Sterling, who has scored 15 Premier League goals this season and created nine, Rooney credited Guardiola’s influence.“Raheem has always had the talent and the ability but the one thing he has improved on massively is his knowledge of the game and tactically he is a lot better since working with Pep Guardiola.“He is doing fantastic so I am really pleased for him, adding the abuse the 24-year-old has received in the past is ‘baffling’.“He will be up for Player of the Year for sure this season, he is doing fantastic.”Rooney credits Pep Guardiola’s with Raheem Sterling’s improvement to his game3
