Ally McCoist has insisted that Arne Slot has next to no chance of winning the Premier League title in his first season with Liverpool.

I think it is a rather sweeping statement to say that he'll win the title in his first season with Liverpool," McCoist told talkSPORT.

"Particularly when you don't know what's going to happen at Liverpool.



There might be an exodus of one or two star players and if that is the case, then you'd have to say it's going to be extremley difficult for them and him to come in and win the league in his first season.

"So at this moment in time, with the uncertainty surrounding Liverpool, I think it will be almost impossible to say that he fancied them to win the league, I really, really do.

"What I would say from Feyenoord to Liverpool is a huge jump and I think it shows in this moment a lack of real top managers out there when you look at who Liverpool were going for," Carragher told Sky Sports.

"I don’t think it’s like Rafa Benitez coming on or Jurgen Klopp coming in.

Benitez came off the back of winning two La Liga titles and a UEFA Cup and Jurgen Klopp coming after winning a couple of titles with Borussia Dortmund and getting to a Champions League final.

"Liverpool were in a different space then, and that was a Liverpool team under Rafa Benitez that I was part of that was trying to qualify for the top four, the same with Jurgen Klopp when he came in.

"Liverpool are in a different area now and fancy themselves to challenge for the Premier League next season and the Champions League, they will be expected to reach the quarter-finals at least.
