Jamie Carragher makes honest admission that's damning for Liverpool's title hopes

Jamie Carragher is concerned Liverpool will struggle to recover from their opening two results of the new Premier League season in their title fight with Manchester City.

The Reds have drawn both fixtures, against Fulham and Crystal Palace, two teams they were expected to beat. That leaves them four points behind Pep Guardiola's champions, who eased past West Ham and Bournemouth in their opening games.

Manager Jurgen Klopp will be keen for Liverpool to win their next three Premier League games against Manchester United, Bournemouth and Newcastle. They will need to do so without striker Darwin Nunez after his red card against Palace on Monday night. Palace took a shock lead at Anfield through talisman Wilfried Zaha before Nunez was dismissed for violent conduct after the break. Liverpool needed a stunning strike from Luis Diaz to claim a point in the second half, even though they wanted all three.
