‘I think’ – Alan Shearer makes early Premier League title prediction after Liverpool v Crystal Palace

Alan Shearer has backed Liverpool as potential Premier League title challengers this season.

That will, of course, depend on their ability to stave off injuries throughout the 2024/25 campaign.

This is easier said than done, as Reds fans can immediately attest to after a costly 1-0 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Alisson Becker was seen limping away from Selhurst Park after appearing to pick up a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, Alexis Mac Allister was taken off the field of play after the first half as a precaution.
