Liverpool overlooked as pundits name Champions League 'favourites' after draw

Pundits Glen Hoddle and Steve McManaman have named their favourites for this season's UEFA Champions League.

The group stage draw was carried out on Thursday evening and the Reds have been drawn in group A with Ajax, Napoli and Rangers. Jurgen Klopp 's side reached the final last season, but will hope to go one step further this time around after they were beaten at the final hurdle by Real Madrid.

However, the Reds are surprisingly not one of the favourites for this year's competition, according to the pundits. Hoddle has named Premier League champions Manchester City as the club most likely to win, following the arrival of striker Erling Haaland this summer.
