Liverpool are currently sat top of the Premier League, bypassing a round in Europe after finishing top, through to the next round of the FA Cup and ready for a Carabao Cup semi-final but Micah Richards has spotted an issue.
Speaking on ‘The Rest Is Football’, the former defender said: “I would never rule Liverpool out, I think I said a couple of weeks ago, I think they’re the ones to challenge Man City for the league.
“But, I just think they’re still giving up a lot of opportunities.
“If you look at the game against Arsenal, they should have scored at least two in that first half, if you’re being honest.
“I think the difference between Arsenal and Man City, is Man City will punish you.”

It’s true that Arsenal did have a lot of chances against us at the Emirates but seeing as Alisson Becker didn’t really have a save to make (other than a Ben White effort that was fired at him), we certainly dealt with the danger well.
It’s easy to say another team will take chances but seeing as we also drew with Manchester City away and that we’ve got so many injuries in our back four at the moment – we’re not really showing many signs of major issues at the back.
