Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish relishes 'fantastic' three-team title race

Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish insisted this season's three-team title race is a testament to the quality of the Premier League.

Liverpool currently sit top of the table two-thirds of the way through the campaign, with Manchester City and Arsenal hot on their heels.

In what will be Jurgen Klopp's final season on Merseyside after he announced his forthcoming departure in January, Liverpool remain in contention for every piece of silverware available to them.

On Sunday Klopp introduced a number of academy talents as his injury-hit side saw off Chelsea after extra-time in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

The 56-year-old later labelled the triumph the 'most special trophy' of his career in management.

With a congested fixture list ahead of them throughout the run-in injuries remain a concern as Klopp attempts to secure a glittering end to his nearly decade-long stint at Anfield.

Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast Dalglish warned injuries could curtail the club's hopes of Premier League glory this season.

'The biggest threat to Liverpool could be injuries.' He said.

'For me, Arsenal have got to go to Manchester and play Man City, which is a big game.

'I don't know why people think Arsenal haven't got a vested interest and a threat. Of course they're a threat. They're a threat because they deserve to be a threat.

'There is a lot of water still to pass under the bridge, and if Arsenal are starting to get their players back that have been injured, and [Liverpool] are starting to lose ours, then it could be vital.

'Man City obviously will be right in the thick of it. It's fantastic that we've got three teams as good, and as great quality, as those three challenging for position and the title. You don't get that in too many countries, do you?'
