With the start of the new season only a week away, we take a look at Liverpool's prospects under new manager Jamie Carragher. The Liverpool-born manager looks set to play a 4-1-2-3, with either Lucas or Emre Can holding in midfield, and Coutinho out wide on the left. There are suggestions that Carragher will also look to play a narrow 4-4-2, with his front 3 fluid, and a strong midfield trio supporting wing-backs marauding down the flanks. Either system will likely be based on possession, and patient build up, although there are a number of players in the squad with the ability to change a game in mere moments.

Ahead of the opening game against Manchester City, bookmakers have been offering odds of 20-1 for Liverpool to win the title, with most expecting them to finish around 5th place. The most widely predicted top 4 includes Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, with Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton and Southampton thought to be the main contenders for a European spot.

At the other end of the table, Norwich, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Bournemouth are favourites for relegation, with bookmakers offering best odds of 1000-1 for any of those teams to lift the trophy come the end of the season.

It looks like Liverpool will be heading into the new season nursing a few injuries. John Flanagan is expected to be out for 5-6 months following a knee injury. Captain Jordan Henderson is nursing a heel problem which looks like it's going to keep him out for up to 7 weeks, while Daniel Sturridge is still out of contention for the next 2 months after his most recent hip problem.

Liverpool have strengthened significantly this transfer window, with Carragher driving a hard bargain, and sealing a multitude of clause-based deals to really maximise his transfer budget.



Pre-Season was a mixed bag for Liverpool, as they adjusted to a new style of play. Disappointing losses to Atletic Bilbao and PSV were countered by wins against Stuttgart and the A-League all-stars, before stuttering performances against Teramo and Shanggang gave Carragher food for thought. In the final two games, he had opted to play some of his promoted youth players, but with less than convincing results. The manager doesn't yet seem to have a settled 11 in his mind, but with only a week until the start of the season, he needs to find one fast.

Good signings, seem to be a realistic level for Liverpool at the moment although I'm sure you'll go after the bigger names once you establish yourself as a top 3 side.
