Stuart Pearce believes Liverpool could pip his former club Manchester City to the Premier League title this season - and has backed Luis Diaz to be their stand-out performer.
The Reds started the campaign well with victory over City in the Community Shield at Wembley on Saturday afternoon and they'll hope to continue the momentum when their league fixtures get underway against Fulham at Craven Cottage this weekend.
Diaz is beginning his first full season with the club after he joined from Porto in the January transfer window. The winger has had a positive start to life on Merseyside and, with Sadio Mane having departed for Bayern Munich, Pearce believes the Colombia international is a 'special' talent who will be competing for the top honours in 2022-23.
