'Sooner or later they will win it' - Liverpool backed for Premier League title by 'fan' Eriksson

The former England manager believes the Reds have a good chance of becoming champions but is still wary of Manchester City's threat

Liverpool have been backed to win the Premier League title ‘soon’ by former Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Jurgen Klopp's men are currently joint top of the Premier League table along with reigning champions City and Chelsea, having won six of their opening eight games this season.

A 0-0 draw at Anfield with City on Sunday ensured that the Reds preserved their unbeaten league record heading into the international break, with a game against Huddersfield at the John Smith’s Stadium next up in two weeks’ time.
