Jamie Carragher makes Premier League top-four prediction for 2020/21 season

Jamie Carragher has made Premier League top-four prediction for the 2020/21 season ahead of the new campaign. Last term Liverpool won their 19th league title for the first time since 1990. Manchester City finished in the second place, having a 18-point gap with the newly-crowned champions. Meanwhile, Manchester United managed to reach the third place of the competition, standing above Frank Lampard's Chelsea. The latters have already spent more than £150m this summer to strengthen the squad and challenge for the league title next season. However, Carragher believes the Reds and the Sky Blues will remain on the top of the list, dismissing both Chelsea's and Manchester United's title chances. He told TEAMtalk: "I’m a Liverpool man and I want to see them win the league again, but maybe not in the manner they did it last season We want and we need to see a competitive title race I want to see the other teams get closer to Liverpool because we need it to be more competitive. We don’t want any team to be 20 or 30 points ahead and while I want Liverpool to win the league, I’d like to see them in the tight title race and winning it on the last day of the season in exciting fashion, going down to the wire and with less points than they got last season. If the top one or two teams are getting 99 and 100 points every season, it means there are fewer points to go around, so I would like to see the total points needed to win the Premier League go down to 90 points this season as that would mean we will have a more interesting title race. That could happen as I expect all the teams trying to chase Liverpool to do better than they did last season, but I only see two teams in contention for the title and that will be the top two for the last couple of years. The chasing pack have to bridge the gap on Liverpool and that’s why teams like Chelsea have been spending money in the transfer market to try and make that happen, but Liverpool and City are a long way ahead of the rest and I don’t see that changing."
