Everyone's talking about Liverpool with good reason
Jamie Carragher
"The goalkeeper situation has given everyone a massive lift, Liverpool support wise.
"What happened in the Champions League final to Karius, yes disappointed as a Liverpool fan on the night, but we've all been there as players where you've had a poor game but to have it in such a big and memorable game.
"Hopefully if he moves on, which I think he will do, he will go on to become a great goalkeeper and be remembered for that.
"But Liverpool have had to change there, because there would be no belief in Liverpool winning or challenging for the league with the two goalkeepers they had.

"And I'm not saying that on the back of the Champions League final, it's something we've spoken about before.
"Mignolet and Karius are good goalkeepers, they're not great goalkeepers.
"That's not to say Alisson is a great goalkeeper, it's great price, a world record, so when you pay that money you're expecting a top goalkeeper, but he'll be new to the Premier League so let's see how he adapts, he looks very cool and calm on the ball, that's what Klopp wants from a goalkeeper.
"But they've had to be rectified those areas, most of them have been so at this moment on paper Liverpool do look the strongest to challenge."
But Carragher thinks it's too early to write Manchester United off despite their transfer market woes this summer.

"Yes, they finished second last season but with a very healthy points total," he said when asked if people were jumping the gun on leaving United out of the equation.
"Yes there was a big gap to Manchester City, but there was also a big gap to Man United and the rest, so I actually think Mourinho hasn't helped himself in this pre-season but I think he gets a little bit too much criticism for what he's done at United.
"I think the first season he won two trophies, yes not the Premier League or Champions League but it's very difficult to win trophies with that top six so competitive, so to win two trophies in his first season.
"Last season runners up in the league and the FA Cup, ok not good enough for Manchester United but I don't think it's a bad as people are making out."
