Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers says former club Liverpool have a great chance to win the Premier League title this new season.

His successor Jurgen Klopp guided Liverpool to eighth place and two cup finals last season, losing in both.

"I think Liverpool have a great chance this year," he told talkSPORT.

"Liverpool and Chelsea don't have European football and that's a huge advantage for you, where you can prepare your team all week for just the one game every week.

"Of course, you'll have domestic cup games in between that, but I think Liverpool will have a good chance this year.

"But it will be very competitive with the coaches that have come into the Premier League, that makes it exciting and I'm sure it'll be a fantastic season."
