Robert Lewandowski believes Jurgen Klopp can give Liverpool every chance of challenging for the Premier League title.

The Bayern Munich striker won back-to-back Bundesliga titles with Klopp at Borussia Dortmund and feels the German tactician can guide the Reds, who have no European obligations this term, towards the summit of English football.

"Under Klopp, I think Liverpool will be fighting for the title this season," said the Poland international.

"Pep (Guardiola) and Manchester City will not make it easy for anybody to win the title, but Liverpool have a real chance.

"Without European football it can really help them with being fresh for games and with injuries.

"And, even though Klopp is always smiling, he is ruthless enough to take advantage of that."
