Liverpool legend Graeme Souness is excited watching the progress of Jurgen Klopp's team this season.

Souness has been thoroughly impressed by what he's seen of his old side so far this season, in particular their intensity.

“You go back to Barcelona at their very best, you enjoyed their passing and moving football with their magicians like Messi and Iniesta - but it was easy to overlook their work rate," he told Sky Sports.

“It's the same with this Liverpool team. If they can keep this intensity going, whoever finishes in front of them this season will win the league.

“This is the best Liverpool team since they won the league.

“I think they've got a great chance to win the league.

“City are fabulous, they've got equally fabulous players, and I think it'll be nip and tuck all the way through if that's the intensity Liverpool can play with."
