Micah Richards reveals the only thing that can stop Liverpool
With Arne Slot sporting an 18-1-1 record since taking over from Jurgen Klopp, it’s hard to see Liverpool stopping in any competition right now.
Indeed, Richards believes it is out of Liverpool’s grasp, with only injuries to star duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk stopping them now.
“I think if they lost Salah or Van Dijk, it’s different,” Richards said Sky Sports. “We talked about the big players coming in. I mentioned Odegaard and Saka for Arsenal.
“Obviously Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne for Man City. Salah, watching Salah is amazing. Not that I played with him many moons ago but he can’t, he doesn’t even have to play well but he still makes the difference in key areas .
“Daniel (Sturridge) talked about his pass and then it’s over, he misses the penalties. That’s different, but that’s what I mean. I think if you lose Van Dijk and Salah, things will be very different.”
“If they stay fit, it’s very difficult for everyone else.”
