Graeme Souness declares Liverpool "can certainly" win the Premier League this season - but warned it will take a "huge slice of luck" to pip Manchester City to the title.
The Anfield icon was speaking as his former club put four goals past Manchester United on Tuesday night to claim top spot in the table. City will need to respond with a victory of their own to leapfrog the Reds as they host Brighton on Wednesday.
It has shaped up to be another vintage title race between the two world-leading clubs, who have shared the last four league titles between them. While Souness still makes City favourites to be crowned English champions, he pointed out even Pep Guardiola's winning machine can "slip up".
