Jamie Carragher has expressed doubts about Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League this season, citing the difficulty they will face in maintaining their title-winning form. Despite being favorites, Carragher highlights concerns about Liverpool's ability to sustain consistency throughout the campaign. He points out that injuries to key players such as Virgil van Dijk or Mohamed Salah could drastically affect their title bid, given their importance on defense and attack respectively.
According to Carragher, Liverpool's squad depth is tested by potential absences, but their collective spirit and unity remain strong, with players celebrating each other's success, a positive sign for their teamwork. However, he emphasizes how crucial staying injury-free is for their title defense.
In addition to assessing Liverpool, Carragher commented on the relegation battle, expressing particular worry about Leicester City’s precarious position despite some decent results. He notes that after managerial changes and numerous chances conceded, the team might struggle mentally and physically over the season. Conversely, newly promoted teams like Ipswich Town carry a "feel-good factor," which could help them adapt better to Premier League challenges.
Overall, while Carragher acknowledges Liverpool as favorites, he is cautious about predicting their repeat triumph due to potential challenges such as injuries and competition strength in the league.
