Gukesh favourite, I've dropped a lot: Liren on world title match

Defending champion Ding Liren said D Gukesh is "favourite" to win FIDE World Chess Championship final against him which will be held in Singapore later this year. Liren, who became world champion last year after beating Russian GM Ian Nepomniachtchi, said he has "dropped a lot" since last year. Gukesh won Candidates tournament in April to challenge for title.
