Jamie Carragher says Liverpool could 'easily finish sixth' as top-four prediction made

Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool will make it into the top-four come May despite a dismal start to the season leaving them ninth.

The Reds have endured their worst start to a Premier League season under Jurgen Klopp following consecutive defeats against Nottingham Forest and Leeds United in recent weeks. With just four wins from their opening 12 games leaving them eight points short of Newcastle United in fourth and a massive 15 points off top-of-the-table Arsenal, the Anfield club face an uphill task if they want to qualify for next season's Champions League.

And the task is made that much harder by the abundance of in-form challengers, with four other sides looking like competing for the two places behind Manchester City and Arsenal - all-but shoe-ins for the top two on current form. Tottenham Hotspur are not playing particularly well under Antonio Conte, but they have only lost three games all season and host Liverpool on Sunday in a potentially crucial game.
