Dietmar Hamann has named who he believes is going to win the Premier League title, with just two points currently separating Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal.
It is certainly threatening to be one of the most exciting title races for a number of years. Of course, it is Liverpool who currently lead the way.
However, many are tipping Manchester City to come out on top again. They have been relentless under Pep Guardiola. And last season perhaps showed that the Cityzens can get across the line from any position.
Dietmar Hamann backs Liverpool to win the Premier League title
It was Arsenal who missed out. Some may have wondered if they would fall away after the disappointment of falling short last year. But Mikel Arteta’s side are very much in the mix once again.
However, speaking on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Dietmar Hamann has suggested that he is optimistic that his former club can give Jurgen Klopp the send-off he arguably deserves this season.
“I do think they’re going to win the league this year. They play City at home. They’ve got quite a good record at home against City. If they beat them, they’re ahead of them. I think they will. I think it gives them that extra boost because everybody wants him to go and send him off with the most possible success. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they win more than the Premier League this season,” he said.
Pressure of giving Jurgen Klopp a fitting farewell will be heavy
Liverpool do have a number of players who have enjoyed success in the past. So they are not strangers to being in this position. And you could hardly say that they bottled any of the title races where they missed out to Manchester City.
Perhaps much will come down to how they deal with the pressure of it being Jurgen Klopp’s final season. They will be even more desperate to win for their manager.
Once Manchester City get into their stride, it is a nightmare to try and stop them. And Arsenal should not be discounted either.
But with Klopp gearing up to step aside, there will be plenty of neutrals who hope that Hamann is proven correct.
