Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have amazed the Premier League with their stunning performances and now Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes that Liverpool are one of the favourites for the Premier League title.
With 13 points in their first 6 games, Liverpool currently sit fourth on the table and Scholes believes that the Merseyside outfit have enough goals in them to mount a serious title challenge.
"Liverpool look like they're a team who can win the league," he told BT Sport. "I think it's a big test for United to go there [on October 17] and try and get something out of the game.
"I think they'd take a draw now. I was a little bit worried about them defensively but you have to say, the attacking quality they're showing at the minute, they look like they're going to score goals against anybody.
"I hope they don't [win the league]!"
Liverpool face Swansea City next in the Premier League and they will be hoping to take the full 3 points against the struggling Wales outfit.
Swansea manager Guidolin fears sack if he loses against Liverpool
Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin has said losing Saturday's Premier League encounter against Liverpool could signal the end of his stay at the Welsh club following their poor start to the season.
After winning their opening match, Guidolin's side, who are fourth from bottom in the standings, have come under pressure after suffering four league defeats in their last five games.
When asked if he could be sacked if Swansea lose at home to Liverpool, who have won three successive league games and are fourth in the table, Guidolin said: "Maybe. Could be. It could happen."
The former Udinese boss, who joined Swansea in January, also revealed he recently met with chairman Huw Jenkins to discuss his future at the club.
"I spoke with the chairman last week but at the moment, the most important thing is for me to work with my players and my team on the training ground and to prepare for the next game with focus and concentration," Guidolin added.
"Yes, I know it's not a good moment for our team but it is because of the table and we need results. But we can get the result if we play well and I am confident because this is a good team with good players."
Swansea city will have to be at their best to deny Liverpool a victory on Saturday.
