Robert Lewandowski backs Liverpool to fight for Premier League title

Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski backs Liverpool to be Premier League title contenders under Jurgen Klopp this season.

Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski has given his backing to Liverpool to fight for the Premier League title this season under manager Jurgen Klopp.

The Poland international is well aware of Klopp's strengths having played under the German for four years at Borussia Dortmund.

The Reds have started the season well, having won five of their opening seven league games, which has put them fourth in the standings.

In an interview with Goal.com, Lewandowski said: "Under Klopp I think they will be fighting for the title this season. Pep and Manchester City will not make it easy for anybody to win the title, but Liverpool have a real chance.

"Without European football it can really help them with being fresh for games and with injuries and, even though Klopp is always smiling, he is ruthless enough to take advantage of that."

Klopp will mark a year in charge of the Reds this Saturday.
