Jamie Carragher names who he thinks has the best squad in the Premier League

The Premier League takes a break this week for the final Nations League group stage matches, and it's Liverpool who lead the way at this early stage of the season. 

Arne Slot has made an impressive start to life as Anfield boss, and Jamie Carragher believes one of the reasons for the club's early dominance is the quality of the squad as a whole. 

Talking on the latest episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet, the Liverpool legend stated that he believes his former side has the best 22 of any club in the division. 

“The big thing with Liverpool is that they didn’t buy anyone last summer," Carragher said.  

"They were top of the league last year with six games to go, and they lost at home to Crystal Palace on the same day that Arsenal lost to Aston Villa.

"The injuries Liverpool had last season were off the scale – remember the Carabao Cup final, where the kids were coming on – and there was constant change. But because of the way the new guy [Arne Slot] trains, it's not as end-to-end, and less players are getting injured. 

"I would say Manchester City have the best team, the best 18 – but Liverpool have the best 22.  They have five forwards who probably all think they should play and have got decent backup in positions. In terms of not bringing anyone in, it hasn’t mattered because they haven’t had many injuries. 

“Arsenal are talking now about injuries – but they haven’t had many in two or three years. It’s always been about right or nine of their starting XI playing every single game.” 

Slot's side return to action next weekend when the travel to St Mary's to play Southampton.
