Liverpool don’t have the depth to be geniune title challengers, according to Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
The Reds came unstuck at the Emirates Stadium as they lost 2-0 to Arsenal and Mourinho believes their lack of depth could hurt their title pursuit.
However, the Chelsea boss does believe London-rivals Tottenham Hotspur could be up their come May due to their strong squad and the Portuguese-man believes Spurs have enough talent to field two top-class teams.
‘I think City has the most incredible squad,’ Mourinho said. ‘I think United is United, and history makes them contenders, too.
‘Tottenham is the big spender of the summer and, because of that, they have a fantastic squad with two teams of equal players.’
‘At Arsenal, the manager is building a team step by step – the club is stable and buying a player like Mesut Ozil makes a difference.
‘Liverpool are probably the club with least resources because, while their team looks as strong as the others, their squad doesn’t look quite so strong.
‘At the same time, they don’t play in European competition, so they only play one match a week, so they are training, preparing and resting for the weekend match while the rest of us are playing in Europe.’
