Jamie Carragher has claimed he thinks Liverpool are worthy title contenders, and it seems that this season, the talk of it being their year might actually become reality.

Liverpool are most people’s favourites to content for the title, along with defending Champions Man City – and after seeing the Reds excel in pre-season, Carragher thinks it’s their time.
He said to Sky Sports: “Everyone’s talking about Liverpool with good reason.
“You look at getting to a Champions League final. Having Van Dijk for a full season, you’ve seen the impact he made after coming in January.”
Carragher went on, and noted that he thinks the Reds have solved a situation that made them weak last season.
Getting in Alisson Becker will help tenfold, and over the course of a 38 game season, will certainly aid their quest to become champions.
He did have some kind words for Loris Karius, and noted he wants the player to do well at his next club.
“The goalkeeper situation has given everyone a massive lift, Liverpool support wise.
“What happened in the Champions League final to Karius, yes disappointed as a Liverpool fan on the night, but we’ve all been there as players where you’ve had a poor game but to have it in such a big and memorable game.
“Hopefully if he moves on, which I think he will do, he will go on to become a great goalkeeper and be remembered for that.
“And I’m not saying that on the back of the Champions League final, it’s something we’ve spoken about before.
“Mignolet and Karius are good goalkeepers, they’re not great goalkeepers.
“That’s not to say Alisson is a great goalkeeper, it’s great price, a world record, so when you pay that money you’re expecting a top goalkeeper, but he’ll be new to the Premier League so let’s see how he adapts, he looks very cool and calm on the ball, that’s what Klopp wants from a goalkeeper.
“But they’ve had to be rectified those areas, most of them have been so at this moment on paper Liverpool do look the strongest to challenge.”
