Liverpool legend Graeme Souness rates Jurgen Klopp's team as potential champions this season.
Souness sees the Reds making a top two finish.
He wrote in the Daily Mail, "I'll make a bold statement about the Premier League race, which resumes today: Liverpool will finish first or second this season.
"I see a stronger Liverpool," he continued. "Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai appear to understand the demands of playing for the club.
"Our football needs a challenge to Manchester City's dominance and Liverpool can provide it. They are the biggest threat to Pep Guardiola winning four titles on the trot."
