Jamie Carragher has sensationally claimed that Manchester United have a better squad than Liverpool.

The Reds are struggling in recent weeks, despite their title rivals Manchester City also slipping up.

The lead at the top of the table is only three points now - meaning a single Liverpool loss would put City top on goal difference.

Carragher has bemoaned the lack of depth in the Reds' squad.

"I said yesterday Manchester United have a better squad than Liverpool. People may have thought it was a strange thing to say but I think we're seeing little signs of it," he said on Sky Sports.

"On the right back situation, Klopp's made a mistake letting Clyne go. I know there were a couple of injuries but you don't need to let him go — keep him there.

"At the moment James Milner has played there twice now and watching him you can't quite believe he played left back so well for so long. He looks like someone completely out of position.

"Keita, who he paid big money for, looked quiet and keeps losing the ball. Firmino doesn't look himself. Salah we didn't see anything from tonight.

"I think that's a worry going forward, not in terms of this pressure in the lead, more that when there's a few injuries in different positions it doesn't look like that solid Liverpool side we've seen for the last few weeks."
