'I still think' - Ian Wright makes Liverpool claim that ex-England international questions

Ian Wright fancies Liverpool to win their second Premier League title in three years - despite Manchester City holding a nine-point lead at the summit.

And the Arsenal legend also thinks the Reds can win the Champions League to make it a coveted double.

Liverpool hold a 2-0 lead heading into their last-16 second leg against Inter Milan and so are strong favourites to progress to the quarter-finals of Europe's elite competition.

Wright's opinion left pundit fellow Lianne Sanderson shocked.

“I still think that Liverpool believe that they might be able to still do it (win the Premier League),” said Wright on the Kelly and Wrighty Show.

“I fancy that Liverpool will probably think they can do the Champions League as well. I’m not going to write Liverpool off, I’m going to go with Liverpool (to win the league).”

Wright’s view stunned guest Sanderson stunned, with the ex-England women's international clearly believing otherwise.

“Nah, nah!”, she joked in response to Wright’s claim. “Are you alright today?!”

“It’s all opinions, the game is based on opinions. There’s so many permutations that you can’t write anything off,” Wright added.
