Eamon Dunphy: ‘Liverpool have a great chance’ of winning the League

Pundit Eamon Dunphy has delivered the most eye-catching prediction of the Premier League season so far - backing Liverpool for the title.

The reliably controversial commentator delivered his assessment of the season last night, on 2FM sports show Game On.

“I think Liverpool have a great chance," he told presenter Damian O’Meara, although he did add a number of provisos.

“If they get two players in the transfer window, if he (manager Jurgen Klopp) gets a couple of the lads who are injured back into the side and Sturridge gets fit."

Dunphy’s are currently sixth in the Premier League table and Dunphy delivered a ruthless appraisal of the teams above them.

“Liverpool are six points behind and if I look at the five teams ahead of them. Leicester; no chance, Arsenal; zero chance, Tottenham; no chance,” he said. “That leaves the two Manchester clubs.”

Dunphy appears to share Liverpool fans’ love of their new boss, saying Klopp “has got something going”.

Jurgen Klopp was greeted with joy in Anfield when he took over as manager in October.

“Someone will go on a run, and I think Liverpool have every chance,” he insisted, pointing at their relatively easy run of fixtures coming up.

“They’ve had all the big teams away from home; they have them all to come to Anfield.

“This guy has got something going. Six points is nothing.

“They’re certainties for the Champions League spot and I think they might win the league.”
