Harry Redknapp claims Liverpool should be handed Premier League trophy now, despite only eight games have passed.
Redknapp reckons Jurgen Klopp has the Premier League crown already wrapped up five months after Manchester City won the league last year by the difference of one point.
Liverpool are currently leading the Premier League table and they are eight points ahead of City.
He told Mirror Sport: "
Liverpool (will be champions). Give them the trophy now. Absolutely, I'm so sure they will win it now. They are eight points clear and playing well. If Manchester City were playing great then maybe not - but they have lost two games. They have lost to Wolves at home which everyone thought was an absolute certainty and they got beat at Norwich. Norwich recently got beat 5-1 by Aston Villa at home. So they have lost two games that they usually wouldn't. They haven't even played the tough games yet, they have got them to come. I can't see Man City doing it this year."
Redknapp believes City boss Pep Guardiola will priorities the Champions League.
"I think if they are going to win anything this year, it will be the Champions League," Redknapp added. "This is their year. They want to win that. Liverpool will want to win the Premier League, they've won the Champions League. Now they want to win the league. And I think that is what we will see this year."
Liverpool will be back to the Premier League action on Sunday, with a game against bitter rivals Manchester United.
