Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment.
The former Arsenal star seems to have made a U-turn over his earlier claim that Liverpool were all set to win the league title this campaign.
The Sky Sports pundit believes a couple of injuries to Jurgen Klopp’s side will blow the title race wide open.
Merson wrote in The Daily Star: “I thought the title race was over and said so in my column, but I saw enough of Liverpool against Crystal Palace and Napoli to think a couple of injuries would open it back up again.
“They struggled badly against Palace. They’re still winning even though they’re not playing well. But that stops sooner or later.”
Title race
Liverpool are as many as eight points clear of second-placed Leicester City, and they are the clear favourites for the league title this season.
The Reds are winning matches without playing exceptionally well, and they have also been hit with the injury to Fabinho.
There is a long way to go this season and it is still only November, and there could be further twists and turns in the Premier League title race.
Manchester City are the main challengers to Liverpool for the title, and Pep Guardiola’s side need to make sure that they keep on winning to maintain the pressure on the Merseyside outfit.
