“Don’t see it” – Jan Molby says that there is one team that Liverpool does not have to worry in title race

Jan Molby has rejected the chances of one team of deeply de -dentis of Liverpool as Premier League champions this season.

While the Reds from the starting blocks are roared by winning their first five top matches, some of the teams that were tipped to challenge them have little evidence to show that they can keep pace with the side of Arne Slot.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has already written off the chances of his team to overcome the Merseysiders, while Manchester City is eight points on drifting the leaders after the concession of a stop time -similarly against Arsenal on Sunday.

Molby does not see Man City challenge Liverpool this season

Pep Guardiola made a number of unusually defensive replacements with his team that led in the Emirates Stadium, where Erling Haaland and Phil Foden were replaced by Nico Gonzalez and Nathan Ake, and Molby believes that the Cityzens do not have the team to challenge Liverpool well.

The former Reds -midfielder told Anfield Index: “There has been a lot of criticism of Mikel Arteta and the starting XI that he has chosen, but I actually think that the biggest surprise was the way Man City played.

“I understand that they went to the Emirates and took the lead within ten minutes, but Pep Guardiola would never have played that way in the past.

“I still think that Liverpool and Arsenal will end first and second. I just can’t have a man city in that conversation. [Gianluigi] Donnarumma has arrived and looks good, Rodri is slowly coming back to the shape and Haaland is Haaland, but apart from that I just don’t see it. “

Too early to write Man City off!

It was a surprisingly slow start of the season in front of Guardiola, who dropped more points than they have earned so far; And if Liverpool continued to win, they could be a considerable distance from Man City by the time they visit the Etihad Stadium in November.

Reds fans are all too familiar with the sight of the Manchester-Outfit that spits 90+ points and touches the Turbo in the second half of the campaign to end up on stage of the winners, although they often have a pale shadow from the title-winning teams from 2018 to 2024 in the past year.

Despite the reservations by Molby and their recent sausage, Slot will not be fooled to reject our rivals through the M62 to take on a persistent challenge for our status as champions.

That said, Liverpool has the early aces in the title race and has it under their control to open a considerable gap for the pursuit package in the fall, whereby Gary Neville describes their recent form as ‘ominous’.

For now, the Reds will simply be aimed at the past Southampton in the Carabao Cup tonight and storing their 100% Premier League record to a high-flying Crystal Palace-Outfit on Saturday while the champions want to continue their momentum.
