The two former players recently made their predictions for the title, which will be of interest to Liverpool as they chase top spot this season.Dennis Bergkamp disagrees with Jamie Carragher over this season’s title contenders. It’s been an interesting title race so far, with Arsenal at the top of the table but a point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa. Meanwhile, reigning champions Manchester City are 5 points clear of the lead. Liverpool were top of the table until last weekend and remain in contention for the title ahead of the festive season.
The Reds overhauled their midfield in the summer and weren’t expecting to win the title so soon, but they already look serious contenders. Carragher recently claimed that the Reds are not yet ready to seriously challenge for the title. He told Sky Sports in late November: “I think [Manchester City] will easily win the league this season. They will! I don’t think Liverpool’s performance is fair.” “I am ready to take on difficult challenges.”Arsenal legend Bergkamp disagreed on the David Seaman podcast this week – Seaman said – and claimed Liverpool as Arsenal’s biggest rivals. He said: “I think Liverpool. It feels strange. I watched the game against United and they showed a substitute, they showed two players coming on and I thought, “Oh wait, there’s that guy, there’s that guy and that guy.” .
“All of them have suffered injuries and if they come back at the right time, they could be candidates for the biggest win. It’s important for the team to get past this phase and capitalize on it later.” Of course, there is still a lot of football left before we see a clear candidate, and City are still without key player Kevin De Bruyne without injury. However, Jurgen Klopp will be delighted to start the season with what his men have achieved so far.
