Jamie Carragher has provided an updated verdict on Liverpool\u2019s Premier League title chances after their stunning 2-1 win at Newcastle on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Reds went down to 10 men after just 28 minutes with Virgil van Dijk shown a straight red card.<\/p>\n
But Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side produced a remarkable comeback after Darwin Nunez levelled it up with nine minutes of normal time to play, before he bagged a 93rd-minute winner to spark wild scenes in the away end.<\/p>\n
The result means Liverpool remain unbeaten from their first three Premier League matches of the season, after they drew at Chelsea on the opening day and recorded a 3-1 victory over AFC Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Former Liverpool defender Carragher was quizzed about Liverpool\u2019s title chances after the win at Newcastle and feels his old club must bring in a new defender and a new midfielder before the summer transfer window closes.<\/p>\n
\u2018Liverpool have been Manchester City\u2019s biggest rivals for the last four or five years, and Arsenal came to the fore last season,\u2019 Carragher said. \u2018But why can\u2019t Liverpool be that team again this season?<\/p>\n
\u2018The squad that Liverpool have right now isn\u2019t good enough to challenge Manchester City, but they\u2019ve got to go for it in the transfer market this week in terms of bringing in another defender and midfielder.<\/p>\n
\u2018That has to happen because Liverpool can still be the biggest rivals to Manchester City.<\/p>\n
\u2018They\u2019ve made a decent start to the season, but when you\u2019ve got someone like Alisson \u2013 a world-class goalkeeper, maybe the best goalkeeper in the world \u2013 Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah, these are players who are not coming to the end of their careers but are at that stage where if Liverpool are going to go on to do something big again, it has to happen in the next year or two.<\/p>\n
\u2018So really go for it in the last week of the transfer window to get a squad that is good enough to challenge Manchester City.\u2019<\/p>\n
