In addition to Arsenal, Peter Crouch anticipated that Liverpool would push Manchester City for the Premier League championship this year.
The expert suggested in an interview with TNT Sport that the Reds would be able to challenge Pep Guardiola’s team for the top honour in English football.
Liverpool has had a solid start to the new campaign; the Anfield team is now in the top four and is only three points behind league leaders Tottenham.
Things have been going well for Liverpool this season—the Reds have only lost once in their first eight games—and Crouch now believes they may have a chance to contend for the crown.
Regarding Liverpool’s chances in the league, the former Anfield superstar said:
“I think they are definitely in with a shout. I think it’s them and Arsenal chasing City.
“If you had to hang your hat on it or, you had to have a bet on it for your life, then you’d say City win the league. But I think Liverpool can be the best of the rest and push them all the way.”
Crouch may be right about Liverpool winning the Premier League.
After a season to forget in which the Reds finished fifth, Liverpool is beginning to look much more like themselves this year.
At Anfield, summer additions have adapted well, and by the season’s end, Liverpool might be challenging teams like Arsenal and City for the championship.
It will require a lot of luck with injuries and form, but Liverpool has a history of holding onto the title until the very last game of the season. This season might be no different.
