Andy Gray explains why he fears Liverpool won't win the Premier League

Andy Gray fears Liverpool won't win the Premier League if anything happens to Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino or Sadio Mane.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds are sitting pretty at the top of the table with an unbeaten record from their opening 10 fixtures.

Champions Manchester City closed the gap on them to three points last time out with a win over Aston Villa.

Liverpool have the chance to extend their lead to six points against Tottenham on Sunday, and have their dynamic front three starting up top for them.

So far this season the trio have steered clear of injury, but Gray worries that if anything happens to any one of them it could hit the Reds hard.

"They might not win the league if one or two of the front three suddenly don't click or one of them gets injured," Gray told beIN SPORTS.

"They are so reliant [on the front three], more than City, City get goals from everywhere.

"Very creative from midfield and get goals from midfield, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, I could go on.

"They supplement the front three at Man City. Who supplements the front three at Liverpool? No one, no one really.

"Fabinho never scores, [Jordan] Henderson never scores, the real positive that has happened to them in them last week is [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain.

"He came on at Old Trafford and made a difference, he's creative, he's got a goal in him as we saw midweek in the Champions League.

"He might be the one who makes a difference, but if anything happens to the front three, or the three of them just dry up, and it can happen in football, then they need to find goals from somewhere else.

"[Divock] Origi isn't going to get them and who have they got apart from Origi?"
