Former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke says that Liverpool can win the Premier League title and also comments on the rivalry with Manchester City.
Dwight Yorke, speaking exclusively to 888sport, has suggested that Liverpool can win the Premier League title this season.
The former Manchester United star is seemingly impressed with Jurgen Klopp’s side so far this campaign.
The former Trinidad and Tobago international forward, though, believes that United can get something from the match against the Reds next week.
Liverpool will face the Red Devils at Anfield in the Premier League on Monday evening.
Yorke has also suggested that Manchester City are now United’s biggest rivals, not Liverpool.
“This is the year where four, even five, teams could win it,” said Dwight Yorke, speaking exclusively to 888sport. “It’s very hard to predict who is going to win which is a good thing because in seasons past it was easy to say who would finish in the top two.
“That’s not the case anymore and Liverpool have a genuine chance of winning the Premier League this year that’s for sure.
“It’s a game full of history and rivalry but perhaps not so much in the modern day. This was the game we all looked forward to in my day but now with the two Manchester clubs being where they are that is the bigger game.
“I’m sure there will be one or two people disappointed in me saying that. The Liverpool game still have the intensity and history but the derby is bigger now.
“Mourinho is a man who has been around with great success and if he plays the right team and system we will get something from it.
“There is more fluency in the side now but under Klopp Liverpool are full of confidence and playing some good football now. Going to Anfield is never easy as I know from my experiences there.”
Liverpool have started the 2016-17 campaign strongly, and they are certainly in the running for the league title.
It remains to be seen if Klopp’s side will be able to maintain their high-pressing game throughout the season.
The Merseyside outfit are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 16 points from seven matches.
Liverpool are just two points behind leaders City, who are favourites to win the league title this season.
Meanwhile, United currently find themselves sixth in the Premier League table with 13 points from seven matches.
