Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey says they lack the depth to win the Premier League this season.
The Reds managed to sign Ibrahima Konate as their one piece of serious business over the summer.
Heskey, who won five major honours with the club, told bookmakers.co.uk: “In terms of the actual team then yes, I think Liverpool can compete.
“But in terms of the squad depth, probably not…
“It's tough to bring players in if you're not going to get rid of players too, that is key to a lot of squads.
“It's not always about who you want to come in, it's who you're trying to get out before you can bring your targets in.
“When we're talking about squad depth, we mean who the manager can look to on his bench to come into a game.
“Manchester United have a good bench, Chelsea too, and Man City are Man City. All of their squad depths are deeper than Liverpool's."
