’I'll make a bold statement' - Graeme Souness makes big Liverpool prediction after just four games

Graeme Souness believes the club will end the season as either champions or runners-up - no lower.

After four matches they sit in third place, equal on points with Tottenham

City remain favourites having won the last three titles -

However his former club's early-season displays have caught Souness' eye, and he cannot shy away from the fact they will be serious contenders this season.

Souness:

"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,"

"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."
