Watford captain Troy Deeney has subsidized Liverpool to win the Manchester City league striker and believes Manchester United and Arsenal will finish in the four most sensible.
The Reds tied 1-1 against City at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, entering the November foreign stop in 3rd place in the Premier League.
Despite his 7-2 beatings at the hands of Aston Villa in the previous season and injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho in recent weeks, Jurgen Klopp’s appearance has been controlled to produce results.
His rival name City is 10th after winning 3 of his first seven league games.
Meanwhile, United and Arsenal have struggled to get in shape this season and are at the back of the table.
And Deeney expects Liverpool to retain his crown, with City in place at the moment and the Spurs and Chelsea in shape to fight for third place.
“I think the four most sensitive, personally, will have the Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea and City, in that order,” Deeney told talkSPORT.
“I still think Liverpool will win it; the second City, then it’s a draw between the Spurs and Chelsea. “
Speaking after Sunday’s tie with City, Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson admitted that his appearance had recovered from the backs of the injuries and he was satisfied with his current position in the league.
“We’re hungry for more, but we have to be happy,” he told the club’s official website.
“I think when we hurt ourselves and lost some players to Covid-19, everyone expected the wheels to fall off.
“In the Premier League we probably wouldn’t have been at our most productive time at times, however, we had effects and that’s why we’re close to the most sensitive in the league.
“So let this continue for a long time and we can continue to build trust and performance.
“I think it’s one of our most productive performances for a while and I hope we’ll come back from trusted internationals and get started because we’re a smart team.
“I hope we can attack this holiday season because it’s going to be hectic, but we’ve treated it pretty well in past seasons and that’s what we want this season. “
