How will Liverpool fare in the Premier League this season?

Well-known sports presenter Richard Keys has suggested on his website that Liverpool will not win the Premier League title this season.

Liverpool finished fourth in the Premier League last season and could feature in the group stage of the Champions League this campaign.

The Reds have not made a great start to the league season, drawing 3-3 with Watford away from home at Vicarage Road before registering a narrow 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Anfield.

Former Sky Sports presenter Keys does not believe that Liverpool are strong enough to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

Keys wrote on his website: “Liverpool laboured against Palace didn’t they? Would Coutinho have made much of a difference?

“Look, top players always do, but I’ve seen many performances from Klopp’s team just like that when the Brazilian has played.

“I don’t believe Liverpool are strong enough to challenge for the title and having only added Mohamed Salah in the summer, they’re way short. This is not an ‘anti’ Liverpool view, it’s simply an honest view.”

Liverpool have a decent team, but Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all have better and stronger squads.

Some would argue that even Arsenal have a better bunch of players than Liverpool do, while Everton will be determined to finish above their Merseyside rivals this season.

The Reds, though, should challenge for the top four. After all, Jurgen Klopp’s side finished fourth last season, and they should be confident of clinching a Champions League place yet again this campaign.
