On paper the squad is arguably could be weaker (and that is pretty generous ) but the skill of a manager is making the team more than the some of their parts.Taking player ability as their highest, City/Arsenal/United/Chelsea/Spurs all have better starting XIs than Liverpool.
Liverpool have a better squad depth than most though which is more important than strongest XI for a season. Only City and Arsenal (since this year) have better squads.
Pep, EtH, Poch, Ange, arguably Gary O'Neil are better managers.
Something which we have been appalling at for the last decade and which Klopp has demonstrated he can do.
Liverpool will be close I’m sure but I still expect city to win it.
Klopp surely must be #2 best manager in the league based on the last few years.
If emery does the unthinkable this year I may re-assess my opt.
