Liverpool lead City by two points in the title race and Gundogan believes that a lighter fixture load could work in his former manager Klopp's favour, as it did during his time at Borussia Dortmund. The Budesliga side won successive league titles in 2011 and 2012 under Klopp. "We had an advantage of just playing Saturday, Saturday, Saturday and the week off in between. He (Klopp) is in a similar situation now with Liverpool, just the Premier League and then the Champions League on top," Gundogan told reporters.
"When you have no concerns in your mind you are able to win a lot of times, that's how I felt when we were able to win at Dortmund. "Maybe it's going to be an advantage for them. It's nothing we can change right now, they have to play their games and we have to play ours."
Liverpool will look to stretch their lead to five points in Monday's clash at West Ham while City travel to Everton on Wednesday for a midweek league fixture. (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru, editing by Pritha Sarkar)
