Paul Scholes, in contrast to his former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville, is convinced that Liverpool will be major contenders in this season’s Premier League title race.

Paul Scholes has backed Liverpool to be a key player in this season’s Premier League title race, acknowledging only one potential weakness in their squad.

Arne Slot’s side has had a strong start, winning four out of five league games, with their only loss coming against Nottingham Forest.

After a 3-0 win over Bournemouth, Liverpool sits between Manchester City and Arsenal in the standings, following their draw at the Etihad.

Although Liverpool has yet to face either of the top contenders, they will visit Arsenal next month. For now, their focus shifts to defending their Carabao Cup title against West Ham

. While many pundits, including Gary Neville, have written off Liverpool’s title chances, Scholes disagrees.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, hosted by Sky Bet, Scholes said: “I think Liverpool could have a say in the title race this year.

When I look at their forward players, they have five or six top players. Seeing Liverpool up close, what a squad they have.

I see very few weaknesses, with the only concern being if Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konaté get injured in the center-back position.”

Paul Scholes expressed his admiration for Liverpool’s squad, noting the quality and athleticism of their five or six midfielders, along with a versatile group of forwards.

He added, “The only concern was their game against Nottingham Forest, which surprised me.”

After their Carabao Cup match, Liverpool will face Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday. With Manchester City heading to Newcastle without key player Rodri, there’s a chance for Liverpool to move to the top of the table.

Following that, Slot’s side will take on Crystal Palace, while City faces Fulham and Arsenal hosts Southampton ahead of the October international break.

Liverpool.com suggests that Liverpool will likely be a key player in this season’s title race, being one of the few teams capable of challenging City and Arsenal.

The big question is whether they have enough to maintain a strong challenge for the Premier League title, with early signs looking positive but the season still having a long way to go.
