John Barnes: Liverpool will be beaten this season

Liverpool legend John Barnes believes his old team will lose in the Premier League before the end of this season.

Having played 25 league games this campaign, Liverpool have yet to suffer defeat and they are on track to match Arsenal's remarkable feat from the 2003-04 campaign.

Barnes, who played for Liverpool between 1987 and 1997, told Bonus Code Bets: "I think they can go all season unbeaten, but I don't think they will. I reckon they will lose one game but ultimately, they will still win the title comfortably.

"At the end of the day it's not important for Liverpool to go unbeaten, it's important to win the league. I can't see them coming up short against Norwich this weekend, but they will be beat before the end of the season and that's fine.

"It doesn't matter how well your team is doing because it's the kind of league where anything can happen and a shock result could come against anybody, top or bottom half.

"I can't predict which games they will lose, but I do think they will be beaten this season."
