Jamie Carragher has explained what he believes could be Liverpool’s hidden advantage in the race for the Premier League title.
The Reds currently sit top of the table with 11 games remaining and boast a one-point lead ahead of Manchester City and a two-point advantage over Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp’s side have a massive game coming up this Sunday afternoon as they prepare to face off against City at Anfield in a fixture that is set to have huge implications as regards who prevails as eventual champions.
City are still considered the slight favourites to go all the way and claim a fourth successive top-flight crown, though Carragher has argued Liverpool’s effectiveness at making substitutions has the potential to swing the balance back in the Reds’ favour.
“We spoke about Arsenal earlier on and you think how they can win the league: they’re the best defensively. Manchester City are probably the best team with the best individuals but this is where Liverpool can win the league, from the bench, because Klopp always uses five subs.”
Although clear this can act as a secret weapon for Liverpool, Carragher still believes City will come out on top come May, he tweeted: “I think Man City will win the league & at no point last night did I say Liverpool will!”
