Bacary Sagna says Liverpool are unlikely to finish in top four

Sagan has now predicted that Liverpool could possibly miss out on a top-four finish at the end of the season.

The Reds have endured a frustrating start to the campaign, picking just nine points from six of their last fixtures.

And with the side trailing Arsenal by nine points, Sagna contends the Merseysiders face an uphill task to close the gap.

"I do think Liverpool are the team who could fall out of the top four this season based on the opening seven matches so far, simply because they have dropped quite a few points already," Sagna told Lord Ping.
"I think Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City will definitely finish in the top four. Then you only have one spot left, which will be fought between Liverpool and Chelsea," he added.

Leboeuf calls Liverpool's Trent 'championship level' defender

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on French World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf calling Alexander-Arnold a 'championship' defender.

While Leboeuf admitted Trent has elite ability in the final third, he believes the England international cannot defend.

Leboeuf offered to train with the right-back to help him improve his defensive awareness, which has been brutally exposed in recent weeks.
