Liverpool legend Graeme Souness does see a weakness in the current Liverpool team.

While the Reds have racked up an impressive set of wins since the start of the season, Souness knows they can improve.

And he believes that a lack of creativity is the one problem that boss Jurgen Klopp has not been able to resolve.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Souness said: "Right now, they are a little bit behind Manchester City and it hurts me to say that.

"But who is to say? Football is a strange game as well all know, injuries can happen, loss of form, but right now, I see City as being the favourites.

"I think [the midfield being the weakness] is how Jurgen sees it, too.

"He's signed two midfield players this summer and he went for Fekir from Lyon, the third one, so that tells you he thinks that's an area he needs to strengthen.

"They have got three real workaholics in there (in Wijnaldum, Milner and Jordan Henderson) but I don't think they have got anyone that is really cute and clever, like David Silva or a Kevin De Bruyne, but who is?

"That is a hard player to find."
