'I don't think we are strong enough depth-wise': Liverpool legend John Arne Riise is 'SCARED' that Jurgen Klopp's side do not have what it takes to compete with Chelsea and Man City in the Premier League title race

Liverpool legend John Arne Riise is concerned that his former club are not 'strong enough depth-wise' to keep with Manchester City and Chelsea in the Premier League title race.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds suffered a setback last week in their quest to reclaim the top-flight title, losing 3-2 away to West Ham to slip to fourth in the table - four points behind leaders Chelsea.

It was Liverpool's first league defeat in 25 matches, with the Reds just clinging on to a top four spot at the back end of last season - but Riise believes Klopp's men could continue to struggle should an injury crisis emerge like it did last season.
