5 reasons why Liverpool are title contenders

The new season in the English Premier League has been a roller-costar ride so far, teams who were expected to be in midtable are sitting in Champions League spots while other expected title contenders are relegated to midtable. And one of the teams that have performed well above expectations is Liverpool. At the start of the season the Merseyside only dreamt of a top six finish but after nine games into the season, Liverpool has emerged and evolved into a team that all oppositions fear of. The fans have started to see a new dream of bringing the title to Anfield and the thing is they have all the signs to be positive. So here are the reasons why Liverpool could be title contenders or potential winners this season.

No European headaches

Liverpool fans would’ve cursed themselves when the team failed to find a spot in Europe, but that disappointment is going to become a big advantage this time around as the team will have less travels and more time to concentrate on the Premier League. While the lights of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United will be hit by the jostling schedule at one stage or the other, Liverpool will enjoy the luxury of keeping their players fresh and fit to dispose in the domestic matches. And this could be the deciding factor in the long run as the League stretches to a little over nine months.
