Former Liverpool striker David Fairclough is optimistic about his old club's chances of ending their 20-year wait for a league title, and feels that the experience of coming so close last season will stand them in good stead over the course of the coming campaign.
"There'd be no point in starting if we didn't think we could win the league," he told Sky Sports News.
"With the support Liverpool have anything's possible. Liverpool have shown down the years when they've been written off that they're the side that can come back better than anybody else."
Players such as Dirk Kuyt and Yossi Benayoun must also step forward and relieve some of the pressure to create and score goals from the shoulders of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, without whom the Reds struggled to score last season.
"One or two players have grown into their positions and also they've come on a ton because of their good form last season. Particularly Dirk Kuyt, Yossi Benayoun. They've got big parts to play I think," he concluded.
