Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher have both agreed that the Premier League title is heading to Anfield this season after the Reds opened up a commanding 11-point lead at the summit and with the former Manchester United skipper forced into something of an awkward admission about Liverpool’s biggest strengths.
Arne Slot has proved an inspirational appointment at Anfield in succession to Jurgen Klopp and has put his side on pole position to win the league title in his first season at the helm – just the second time in 35 years that Liverpool will have been crowned as the champions of England. Their dominance at the summit was reinforced on Sunday as they pulled off an impressive 2-0 win at the home of four-time reigning champions Manchester City, with goals from the irreplaceable Mo Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai doing the damage in the first half.
While nearest challengers Arsenal do have a game in hand on the Reds, Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat to West Ham illustrated their lack of options in attack, with both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus out for the remainder of the season.
As a result, Carragher expects them to drop more points after effectively ruling them out of the title chase.
