Jamie Carragher on Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur
Carragher said: “What I would say about Tottenham and Liverpool – the two teams Gary probably fancies to finish above Newcastle – it feels like there is a bit of unrest at both clubs.
“You look at Tottenham with the manger and Liverpool at the moment producing performances you can’t quite believe. I don’t think you get that with Newcastle.
“When I watch them and they don’t win it is still a really good performance – they went to Man City and the chances they missed.
“I very rarely watch Newcastle and feel unimpressed.”
Exciting race for the top four
In our view, the race for the Premier League top four this season is going to be very exciting.
Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are in the race, and you cannot say for sure that Manchester United will end up in the UEFA Champions League places for sure.
Brighton and Hove Albion, Fulham and Brentford could also fancy a late push for the top four.
It is going to be fascinating.
