The Premier League title race: Liverpool's to lose

Opta predicts the Premier League as the EPL returns after the international break

Transcript

00:00If you win, it mostly doesn't get better than that.

00:04If you win the amount of games we do, you can be ahead.

00:09Are you serious?

00:11Right now I have to try to win one.

00:13Then we'll see what happens next.

00:30You know, if you win the amount of games we do, you can be ahead.

00:38It's not sure yet in this league because Arsenal, City, Chelsea, all these clubs that are playing in this league,

00:44they are able to win so many games as well.

00:47And that's what they've shown in the last few seasons.

00:49So we're only focused on ourselves.

01:00How do you feel about the Champions League?

01:06We lost two games in the Premier League, that is the point.

01:10And of course we have to change, we have to start back to winning.

01:14But yeah, we are in the position that we are in the table in the Champions League again.

01:18And hopefully when the players come back, I don't have any doubts that we will be back in our best.

01:25How do you feel about the Champions League?

01:39For me, we are behind this kind of club like City, like Arsenal.

01:44The reason why is because they work every day in the last five years or in the last nine years with the same manager.

01:50So we are in behind of them.

01:52But this doesn't mean that when we face them, we are not going to compete and try to win.

01:56Because Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in Europe, in the world.

02:00So yes or yes, we need to compete and we need to try to win games.

02:04How do you feel about the Champions League?

02:19There's nothing that we can change today about that.

02:22What I'm just praying is that as international break I have the team fully equipped physically.

02:28That they are available and they are fit.

02:30Because it's been an absolute nightmare for eight weeks.

02:32So I'm just asking that.

02:34Because the team, the desire that they have and how much we want it is just no question about that.

02:39So it's going to come, we just need that on our side to be able to be more consistent.
