Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards stated that Liverpool is a real contender for the Premier League title this season.
"Now Liverpool is a title contender, let’s not kid ourselves about that. Look at how they brought the matter to victory, how they adapted their game. I truly believe they have a chance to go all the way to a winning finish this year.
I think Slot has added a bit of calm to them. Defensively, Liverpool looks much more solid. Their play under Klopp was amazing to watch, but at times the defenders were a bit vulnerable under that system. Now they have become much more balanced in the sense that the defenders drop back and move forward.
Up front, you always have players who can win matches, so it all depends on the defense, and that’s why I consider them title contenders,” Richards reported on Sky Sports.
