The former Manchester United defender believes no other team is playing as well as Liverpool are currently.
Rio Ferdinand reckons Liverpool are the favourites for both the Premier League and Champions League on current form. The Reds stayed top of the Champions League table following Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Real Madrid. Arne Slot’s men also lead the Premier League by eight points ahead of Sunday's monster clash with Manchester City at Anfield . That could stretch to 11 points with a win should Chelsea and Arsenal fail to win their respective games.
“I said before the game, Arne Slot will have wanted to see what his team could produce against a team of this magnitude. If I was to put money on a team who look most likely to win the Premier League and Champions League this season, I would say it is Liverpool.” Speaking after full-time, Slot paid tribute to predecessor Jurgen Klopp for the squad he left the Dutchman to inherit. He admitted the win over Real was “pleasing”.
