Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has claimed the Reds could win the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal for one major reason.
Liverpool defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the last minute to maintain their position atop the Premier League after matchday 27.
Given that City and the Gunners defeated Manchester United and Sheffield United, respectively, this victory was imperative.
With these outcomes, Jurgen Klopp’s team now sits one point ahead of Man City in second place, while Arsenal trail by two points.
Klopp is preparing to leave Liverpool on a high note, having announced in January that he will be leaving the club at the end of the current campaign.
The Reds defeated Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final. And they are still in the running for the Premier League, FA Cup, and Europa League, so he is on pace to accomplish the quadruple.
Liverpool have managed this despite a severe injury crisis. And Klopp will be missing a number of important players for the crucial Premier League encounter between Man City and Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
What Did Carragher Say About Liverpool Winning The EPL Title?
According to Football365, ahead of this huge game, Carragher has argued that Liverpool “can win the league from the bench”.
“I think since the five substitute rule has come in, no one’s utilised it better than Jurgen Klopp,” Carragher said on Sky Sports Monday Night Football.
“We spoke about Arsenal earlier on and you think how they can win the league.

“They’re the best defensively, Manchester City are probably the best team with the best individuals, but this is where Liverpool can win the league from the bench, because Klopp always uses five subs.”
He added: “So it shows that the power from the bench, certainly in terms of scoring goals, and they’ve got players ready to come off the bench, they’ve got quality, and credit to Jurgen Klopp.”
