Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has backed Liverpool to fight for the Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp this season.
The Reds have been under impressive form as they are just two points away from league leader Manchester City as the race for the title looks intense than even before with only two points separating the top four.
“Under Klopp I think they will be fighting for the title this season,” the 28-year-old said. “Pep and Manchester City will not make it easy for anybody to win the title, but Liverpool have a real chance.
“Without European football it can really help them with being fresh for games and with injuries and, even though Klopp is always smiling, he is ruthless enough to take advantage of that.”
