Roy Keane has branded Liverpool 'sloppy' and thinks that 'five to six teams' can challenge for the Premier League title - but the former Manchester United legend still believes Jurgen Klopp's side are in the driving seat as they look to defend their crown.
The Reds were the dominant force in England's top flight last season, collecting 99 points and winning the division by a mammoth 18 points from Manchester City, who had been champions during the previous two seasons.
Liverpool lead the way again this term. However, they have already failed to win more league games in 2020-21 than during the whole of their title-winning campaign and Man United's 2-1 win over Aston Villa put the Red Devils level on points with their long-time adversary and means that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have picked up 26 points from the last 30 available.
