Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said several teams could win the Premier League this season, dismissing suggestions of a two-horse race between his side and Manchester City for the title.
City and Liverpool have dominated the Premier League the past few seasons, with Pep Guardiola s City claiming the title in 2018-19 with 98 points to Liverpool s 97.
Klopp s side coasted to the title last season, finishing 18 points ahead of second-place City, and the two teams are once again billed as the favourites to compete for the crown in this campaign.
"Yes, it always was (more than a two-horse race)," Klopp told Sky Sports, echoing the sentiments of Guardiola, who is also expecting a wide open race.
"Until a specific point, it was last year for a very long time at least a three-horse race... Nothing is guaranteed. I don t think about us as one of the two teams, I think about us as a team that has to do a lot of things right to be successful.
"If we look back at the previous two years, they were impressive for both teams... but that doesn t mean this year we have the ticket to do it again, everybody has a chance."
Liverpool, who trail league-leaders Southampton on goal difference, will have the opportunity to return to the top of the table when they face City, who are in 12th, later on Sunday.
