Premier League 2013/14 Preview: Club by Club Guide, Predictions, Expectations & Key Players

Posted by

Liverpool: Last Season’s Finish: 7th. Expectations: Top 6. Predicted Finish: 7th.

I am a believer in what Brendan Rodgers is doing at Liverpool. He is building a competitive squad and attempting to rectify the mess he unfortunately took control of. Bringing in Phillipe Coutinho in January has proved to be a masterstroke by Rodgers as the young Brazilian has impressed at Anfield. With Luis Suarez expected to leave the club this summer, it’s down to Daniel Sturridge and Fabio Borini, two very injury prone forwards, to make up for the lost production, and new signings Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto need to contribute in their first season at the club.

Adding depth has been the name of the game for the Reds this summer, Kolo Toure signed on a free transfer will replace Carragher at the club, but still looking for that extra defender, with Aly Cissokho heavily linked with a move. If they let go of Suarez, he too will need to be replaced if they have an hope of European qualification this summer.

Key Player: Phillipe Coutinho needs to be able to regularly produce chances for the forwards at the club. Playing in between the lines will give him space to work with, but Daniel Sturridge also needs to have a big season if he wishes to secure a regular place in the Liverpool and England set-ups.
