Eamon Dunphy has tipped Liverpool to win the Premier League and believes that the arrival of Jurgen Klopp and his influence gives them an edge that other teams don't have.
Liverpool beat Swansea 1-0 a Sunday, a result which saw them move up to sixth place in the table and just six points off leaders Manchester City.
"Someone will go on a run, and I think Liverpool have every chance"
Since Klopp's arrival at Anfield, the Reds have slowly climbed the table, losing just one game in ten and qualified for the knock out stage of the Europa League.
In a season where no team has impressed on a consistent basis in the Premier League, Dunphy feels that Liverpool could take charge of things.
Speaking on 2FM's Game On, Dunphy said: "I think Liverpool have a great chance. If they give him (Klopp) two players in the transfer window, if he gets a couple of the lads who are injured back into the side and Sturridge gets fit.
"Liverpool are six points behind and if I look at the five teams ahead of them. Leicester; no chance, Arsenal; zero chance, Tottenham; no chance - that leaves the two Manchester clubs.
"Manchester City were lucky in a way to beat Southampton. Southampton played really well and they had chance to equalise, and in the end City won 3-1. Manchester United may well win the league but it would be the death of football."
Dunphy did emphasise the importance of Liverpool keeping their main players fit but with Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge both returning from long term injuries, signs look positive for the Reds.
"Someone will go on a run, and I think Liverpool have every chance," Dunphy added. "They need to support him (Klopp) and he started off with all the odds against him. They’ve had all the big teams away from home; they have them all to come to Anfield.
"Coutinho didn’t play yesterday, they can get Sturridge and Benteke firing, and they have Jordan Henderson coming back, although if that’s a good thing I’m not sure.
"This guy has got something going. Six points is nothing. They’re certainties for the Champions League spot and I think they might win the league."
