Shay Given, a former goalkeeper for Newcastle United, thinks Liverpool can win the Premier League and challenge Manchester City this year.
Given thinks Liverpool can’t be stopped this year due to the fact that Jurgen Klopp constantly switches up his lineup.
He thinks the Reds’ potential advantage over Manchester City in the title fight stems from the fact that they are not participating in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Liverpool may not enjoy playing in the Europa League, but it will help them compete with City because the competition is not as tough as the Champions League.
I’m not trying to give the impression that the Europa League is a cakewalk, but the truth is that the teams aren’t as talented, and it gives Klopp a chance to rest some of his regulars. On Thursday, he accomplished it in Austria against LASK when Salah came off the bench late and scored; he was fresh enough to play West Ham the next day.
Given argued in his BBC column that this was further evidence that Liverpool’s impressive start could prove difficult to halt.
