Can Liverpool Finish In The Top 4 This Season?

City opened the season with 18 points from a possible 18, before suffering back-to-back losses against Wolves and Arsenal.

This has left the Gunners and Tottenham joint-top with 20 points, two clear of Pep Guardiola’s men.

Liverpool could however go top as they welcome Everton in the Merseyside Derby in Saturday’s early kick-off.

But Carragher thinks the battle at the top will only be competitive if City continue their poor form

“The only way Liverpool – or anyone else – can win the Premier League is if Manchester City wobble.

“City’s recent defeats by Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal have given the rest a glimmer of hope.

“If Liverpool are in a position to take advantage, that is beyond the pre-season expectations. Arsenal are considered the most likely to pip City. Are Arsenal better than Liverpool? We will know by Christmas.”
