Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler believes they can challenge for the top four next season.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have all replaced their managers and Fowler believes that may help Brendan Rodgers in his second season in charge.

Fowler told The Sun: "At the start of every season, we always have aims and ambitions to get into the top four and get as high up the table as we can.

"We didn't do it last season, but you could see the progression was slowly getting there - we were getting better all the time.

"For this season, there have been a few more players added to the squad, so I think the consistency will be a little bit better.

"The likes of Manchester United and Chelsea have got new managers now, so hopefully it will be a bit of a sticking point for them.

"But in terms of Brendan Rodgers and the squad we're putting together, I think we can certainly challenge for that top four."
