BBC Sport pundits have delivered their Premier League predictions for the 2022/23 season, with Liverpool fancied for greater success in comparison to last campaign.
Jurgen Klopp's side were written off by the 20 individuals who cast their selections ahead of 2021/22, with not one person picking the Reds to claim top spot. Fourth place was the most common view, with nine pundits predicting Liverpool to only just secure a Champions League place. Seven pundits ranked the Reds third, while Danny Murphy, Mark Lawrenson and Rob Green opted for second place.
Most staggering of all was Jermaine Beckford's decision to place Liverpool outside of the top four altogether, having tipped Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Leicester City to complete the Champions League places. This, of course, did not end well as the Foxes ended in eighth position, some 40 points adrift of the Reds.
