Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool could win the Premier League title if they had Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice or Rodri of Manchester City.

That’s the opinion of Gary Neville, who believes that Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice would make Liverpool better and stronger in the middle of the park.

The former Manchester United defender and Sky Sports pundit has also noted that Manchester City midfielder Rodri would make Liverpool better.

Neville does not think that Liverpool are good enough as they are right now to win the Premier League title.

The pundit said on his podcast: “If you put Declan Rice in Liverpool’s holding midfield position or you put Rodri in there, I would be saying Liverpool would definitely be on for the title. 

“My question mark is whether they have enough solidity in midfield, enough defensive strength and power.

“I don’t think Liverpool will quite get there, but they are in the race, there’s no doubt, because of the manager.

“The manager is absolutely outstanding.”

My View: Declan Rice would make any team better

In my opinion, Declan Rice would make any team better, and that includes Liverpool.

The 24-year-old is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

Rice, who can also operate as a defender, was a huge success during his time at West Ham United and has hit the ground running at Arsenal after joining the Gunners in the summer transfer window.

I believe that Rice would make Liverpool more combative and would add an extra bite to the Reds’ midfield.

Rice has made 212 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The midfielder has scored 11 goals and given 10 assists in those games.
