Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has backed Jurgen Klopp to guide the team into a Champions League spot this season.

The Merseyside outfit finished eighth in the Premier League table in the 2015-16 campaign.

Leicester became shock winners and Tottenham Hotspur finished third, while Manchester United and Chelsea missed out on a place in the top four.

In an interview with Goal.com, Carragher said: "I think we go back to the norm. I know Leicester fans may not like me to say that, but I think the heavyweights will come back.

"I'd expect the top four to consist of Man City, Man United, Chelsea and I think Liverpool might get in there. I think the fact that Liverpool have got no European football, the same as Chelsea, is a massive advantage they have on the others."

In three league games this season, Liverpool have recorded a win, draw and defeat.
