Sir Kenny Dalglish names Liverpool's 'biggest threat' in Premier League title race

Sir Kenny Dalglish has said that injuries could be a bigger problem for Liverpool than Manchester City or Arsenal in the Premier League title race. The Anfield legend thinks that the team's injury troubles might be "vital" to their chances.

Jurgen Klopp is missing important players like Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Diogo Jota. Dalglish feels that these issues could hurt Liverpool more than the challenge from City or Arsenal. On the No Tippy Tappy Podcast, he talked about whether Arsenal was the biggest threat to Liverpool.

"They're not the biggest [threat] because Manchester City are in there as well," Dalglish said. "The biggest threat to Liverpool could be injuries. For me, Arsenal have got to go to Manchester and play Man City which is a big game. I don't know why people think Arsenal haven't got a vested interest and a threat, of course they're a threat. They're a threat because they deserve to be a threat.

"There is a lot of water still to pass under the bridge and if Arsenal are starting to get their players back, that have been injured, and we [Liverpool] are starting to lose ours then it could be vital. Man City obviously will be right in the thick of it. It's fantastic that we've got three teams as good and as great quality as those three challenging a position and the title. You don't get that in too many countries do you?"

Just before Liverpool defeated Southampton 3-0 last Wednesday, paving way for an FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United, Klopp confessed Liverpool "need miracles" to counterbalance their injury woes
