Keane backing Liverpool to challenge Man City next season

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Keane feels his old team will be back as a title challenger next season.

Keane believes Liverpool and Arsenal will challenge Premier League champions Manchester City.

"It's very difficult to say where Man City go from here, because if you win the treble, what players do you need? It depends on which players go out," Keane told Betway. "If you get a couple of players that leave, I'm sure they'll be looking to sign some players.

"Next year, I don't think it's going to be a two-horse race with Arsenal. I think Liverpool will be back in the fold, I really believe that.

"With Mauricio Pochettino coming in, I think Chelsea could be good, but they might need a year or two.

"I'm obviously hoping Tottenham will be too, if they get a few new signings, but that depends on if Harry Kane stays. I think it will be a lot closer next year, in terms of teams challenging."
