Following Liverpool’s latest victory, Peter Crouch and Joe Cole concur on the winner.

Former Liverpool players Joe Cole and Peter Crouch think their team can once again contend for the championship.

After watching Saturday’s comeback against Wolverhampton Wanderers, former Reds Peter Crouch and Joe Cole concur that Liverpool will be a title-challenging force this season.

A challenging first half ensued after Hwang Hee-chan gave the hosts the lead after just 10 minutes.
Following the break, Jurgen Klopp made adjustments that helped his team win.

Cody Gakpo scored the winning goal in the 85th minute before being replaced by interim captain Andy Robertson.
Hugo Bueno’s own goal, which Harvey Elliott forced deep into stoppage time, capped off a successful afternoon.

The outcome temporarily moved the Reds to the top of the standings before the rest of the day’s Premier League action began.

Manchester City, who held the top spot going into the international after winning all four games, made it five from five with a comeback of their own at West Ham to reclaim that position.

Tottenham scored twice after the 90th minute to defeat Sheffield United and tie Liverpool’s total of points.
They were the third high-flying team to win despite the odds being stacked against them.

However, before those outcomes, TNT Sports analysts Crouch and Cole, who were both Reds during their playing careers, were asked whether Liverpool would be Manchester City’s main competition for the Premier League title this year.

Cole responded diplomatically, “Yes, I believe they can push City [the closest].”.
Arsenal will be closer because we see them getting better as well.

As much credit as I want to give Liverpool for their hiring, Jurgen Klopp for the job it sounds like he’s already done, and [Mikel] Arteta at Arsenal, I think a lot depends on how City react.

“They’ve been brilliant so far — undefeated — to the shift in the players who have left them, because they’ve let some big players go.
Are the players that Man City brought going to have as much of an impact as players like [Riyad] Mahrez and [Ilkay] Gundogan who have left?

“Because I believe players like those Liverpool has added will help them, and I also believe Arsenal’s players will help them,” the author explains.

“Those two clubs will be the ones putting pressure on Man City, and I sincerely hope they do so for the benefit of the Premier League.
It’s fun to watch when Man City dominates, and we give them all the respect and flowers they deserve, but we need some competition.

“This group appears capable of competing with Man City. “.

Crouch agreed, thinking that the two teams most likely to have the skills to stop Pep Guardiola’s team would be Klopp’s team and the Gunners, who play Everton tomorrow.

“City are undoubtedly the team to beat.
If you consider how Liverpool was last year and the improvements they’ve made, they are definitely back in the mix, the former striker said, but City likely will have just too much.

“I believe Liverpool and Arsenal will be the two teams in and around City, and as Joe said, hopefully they take it right down to the wire.
Liverpool has made significant advancements this year.
