Former striker Darren Bent believes Liverpool will continue to win the Premier League title this season, but says the only way they can be shake is by an injury to Virgil van Dijk.
Despite a poor start to the season, Arne Slot’s side still managed to beat Wolves 2-1 at home on Sunday to move seven points clear of Arsenal, having played 25 games this season. Bent believes the Reds will be back in top form and continue to win the title, with the only real hurdle for the team being captain Van Dijk, who is คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย struggling with an injury.
“They haven’t played particularly well, but they’ve still got the results they want. I feel like they’re going to finish the season as champions,” Bent told Kelly & Wrighty. “That’s the problem. Their form will pick up again. I think it’s just a stumble for them.”
“They may have lost a few games but I feel Liverpool and the goalscoring power they have, they will be back in the game. The only thing I think will affect Liverpool is Virgil – I think if they lose Virgil to injury, Liverpool fans will be upset.”
“Quansah is a very talented player, Gomez and Konaté are good players in their own right, but if you put Van Dijk with anyone, they are more composed. Take him out of the team and use the players you have, that’s when I’m not so sure.”
