Stan Collymore makes bold Premier League and UEFA Champions League prediction involving Liverpool
Yesterday at 10:00 AM
Liverpool have raced off the blocks under Arne Slot and are competing on all fronts this season.
While they lead the way in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, the Reds are also in the semifinal of the Carabao Cup, while their FA Cup campaign begins after the turn of the year against Accrington Standley at home.
No one expected Liverpool to be in such a position when Slot replaced Klopp at the helm, but their start to the season has made the Anfield faithful dream of winning silverware in 2025.
And Stan Collymore believes his former team are all set for a historic end to the season under their new manager.

Liverpool have a four-point lead at the top of the table with a game in hand, with Chelsea their closest competitors at this stage of the season.

Arsenal are also in the mix, but holders Manchester City are enduring their worst-ever season under Pep Guardiola as they find themselves 12 points behind the Reds.
In the Champions League, Liverpool are already through to the knockout stages after winning each of their six games in the competition, picking up famous wins against the likes of AC Milan and Real Madrid in the process.
Writing in his column for Caught Offside, Collymore feels Liverpool will win the Premier League title and reach the Champions League final, giving them a chance to create history in Slot’s first season in charge of the club.
When asked for his predictions between now and the rest of the season, Collymore wrote: “Eddie Howe to be gone at the end of the season, perhaps, and Ange Postecoglou surplus to requirements at Spurs if he doesn't get in the European places.
“Marcus Rashford off in January, Liverpool to win the Premier League title and get to the Champions League final.”
What next for Liverpool in 2024?

Slot and Co will look to make it six points out of six to cement their place in the top, which would put them in a fantastic position to win the Premier League title in the new year.
It’s too soon to be talking about silverware, but Liverpool’s start to the season has undoubtedly raised expectations among the Anfield faithful.
