Robbie Keane has backed his old side to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title next season
By the time Man City lifted their fourth Premier League of the last five seasons, Liverpool trailed their rivals by a staggering 22 points.
despite the collective slump across the campaign, Keane, who turned out for the Reds during the 2008/09 season, has backed Jurgen Klopp's men to run Pep Guardiola's treble-chasing side close next year.

"It’s very difficult to say where Man City go from here, because if you win the treble, what players do you need? It depends on which players go out,"
"If you get a couple of players that leave, I’m sure they’ll be looking to sign some players.
"Next year, I don’t think it’s going to be a two-horse race with Arsenal. I think Liverpool will be back in the fold, I really believe that."
Keane added: (on what to expect from rest of top six)
"With Mauricio Pochettino coming in, I think Chelsea could be good, but they might need a year or two."
"I’m obviously hoping Tottenham will be too, if they get a few new signings, but that depends on if Harry Kane stays. I think it will be a lot closer next year, in terms of teams challenging."
