Football legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has expressed his concern over injuries potentially affecting Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League this season. In a recent interview, he stated that the biggest threat to Liverpool in the title race could be injuries to players in Jurgen Klopp's squad.
Currently, Liverpool is leading the title race with a one-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City after 26 games. However, with a crucial match against last year's treble winners, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, coming up in a couple of weeks, the title race could take a dramatic turn.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, who had a rough winter period, have bounced back and are now just two points behind Liverpool in third place. Dalglish believes that Arsenal, under the management of Mikel Arteta, have proven themselves to be a worthy contender and could pose a threat to Liverpool's title hopes.
Klopp has been pushing his team to their limits in his final season, and despite having a relatively inexperienced squad, Liverpool managed to keep their hopes of winning a historic quadruple alive by defeating Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final last weekend. The manager himself described it as the "most special" trophy of his career. However, the strain on the squad is evident, with several key players like Mohamed Salah, Alisson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, among others, out with injuries.
Dalglish, who won eight trophies as Liverpool's manager, believes that injuries could potentially cost his former club the title. He also pointed out that Arsenal, who will face Manchester City in a crucial match, cannot be underestimated as they are "deserving" of their position in the title race.
The football legend also praised the quality of the three teams currently competing for the title, stating that they are an "absolute credit" to the Premier League. He hopes that the winner will be decided on the pitch and not by external factors like VAR.
Speaking about Arsenal, Dalglish highlighted their success despite not having a prolific goalscorer in their squad. He believes that if they had a center-forward, they would be leading the title race by a considerable margin. However, he also acknowledged that they have found a way to play and have been successful without one.
In conclusion, Dalglish expressed his admiration for the current state of the Premier League and believes that whoever wins the title will deserve it based on the number of points they accumulate throughout the season. He ended by saying that the more points a team earns, the more successful they will be.
