    Ex-Wales striker on Final Score

    Liverpool aren't playing too badly. What's interesting about Liverpool is they will lose Sadio Mane, their top goalscorer, to the Africa Cup of Nations.

    You would be brave to go against Chelsea, they have some players at the top of their game, but you can't rule against anyone else at this time. You can't give them the title now.
