With the average age of its midfielders increasing and intensity in midfield visibly declining last season, Liverpool began to rebuild its midfield in the summer transfer window.
The team added talented players such as Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Liverpool has been a fierce title contender with Manchester City over the past few seasons, so the team, including manager Jurgen Klopp, understands how to compete for the season.
Noting their strengths, former Arsenal forward Ian Wright has given his side the benefit of the doubt, saying that if they can build their midfield, they will be able to compete at the top of the standings.
“We know that Liverpool know how to navigate a season chasing City,”
“Now they’ve got their midfield sorted, I think it’s going to be one of the best midfield’s if they carry on improving like they are.
“I think that with the amount of noise around Tottenham and Arsenal and obviously City doing their stuff, it’s almost as if people are leaving Liverpool. And they should be quite happy with that, because they’ve got everything in every department to continue to challenge under the radar.”
“I believe if they do get into a situation where they’re in and around it, then Liverpool are definitely a massive problem for everybody.”

Tottenham continues to do well, Arsenal has gained top-class ability through the development of its young players, and Manchester City is showing solid strength.
The Premier League is not a simple league with other curmudgeons such as Aston Villa and Brighton.
Liverpool has also been plagued by misjudgments this season, but will they be able to overcome such bad luck, stay in the title race until the end of the season, and finally be crowned champions?
