'Still a lot of points to be played for' - Houghton on Liverpool
- Published
Former Liverpool midfielder Ray Houghton is the guest on the latest episode of the Sacked In The Morning podcast.
He's been speaking about the Reds' title challenge and was asked if the Premier League is Liverpool's to lose: "It's still early. Everyone's putting that out there. What I'm saying is, if you blow up from here, you're not very good. That's not the case. They've got themselves into a good position. That's all it is. Just in a good position at the moment. Still a lot of games, still a lot of points to be played for.
"When you know what the Premier League is like, you've seen Man City in the last four seasons. They've been an absolute phenomenon. They're struggling at the moment, and that's because Rodri is out. He's just been such an influence for Manchester City. He's not there at the moment and they're just struggling a little bit. But Liverpool just have to continue doing what they're doing.
"I watched the game against Southampton, and I've got to be honest, defensively, they weren't quite switched on. But with the front players that they've got, you always think Liverpool are going to score goals. I think they'll outscore the opposition. And if they can keep most of the players fit, Liverpool have got that quality to score goals and win matches.
"The month of December is absolutely huge. Ask me after December, I'll give you a better indication where they are and where they could end up."
