EPL: Carragher names surprise team to challenge for title after Liverpool

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has predicted that a fourth team could launch a surprise Premier League title challenge next season.

Carragher made the comments after watching his former club crowned champions last Sunday, ending Manchester City’s run of four consecutive titles.

“I think it will be them two (City and Arsenal) who come back to challenge Liverpool,” he said while speaking at the Women’s Football Awards.

“City will go again in the market and Arsenal will do will do the same.

“But from that chasing pack, Newcastle could spring a surprise.

“If they keep their best players and just add one or two squad players, they are a top team.

“We saw that against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final and they can take any of those teams.

“They’ve got great support at home as well and in certain positions – especially centre forward and central midfield – they have players who are as good as anybody in the Premier League.”
