Man Utd legend makes shock admission about bitter rivals Liverpool ahead of Anfield clash
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Dwight Yorke believes bitter rivals Liverpool are genuine contenders for the Premier League title this season.
Dwight Yorke backs Jurgen Klopp for Premier League title
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool host the Red Devils on Monday (8pm) and could move top of the table with a win over Jose Mourinho’s side.
The Reds have lost just once this season - to newly promoted Burnley - and have beaten likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and champions Leicester.
Liverpool are without a league title since the 1989/90 campaign, but former United striker Yorke believes this could be the year they finally end their drought.
Speaking exclusively to 888sport, Yorke said: “This is the year where four, even five, teams could win it.
“It’s very hard to predict who is going to win which is a good thing because in seasons past it was easy to say who would finish in the top two.
“That’s not the case anymore and Liverpool have a genuine chance of winning the Premier League this year that’s for sure.”
