THE ENGLISH Premier league is poised to start mid August and teams already fear Liverpool, who has been taking in some good players during the transfer window. Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, feels that Liverpool is a very strong contender this season for the English Premier League title.

Liverpool finished the latter half of the last season on a high - defeating almost all the top sides in the league. Liverpool has looked a different side under Kenny Dalgish, who is their current manager. They have got back the confidence in the team, which was missing in the first phase of the league last year under Roy Hodgosn. Liverpool has spent close to £50m for the transfer window, this season.

Liverpool has roped in players such as Charlie Adams, Henderson, and Downing, etc., to strengthen their line up. Still, the club is on the lookout for a player who fits with the Liverpool style of play. They have received a huge confidence booster ahead of their season as Gerrard has been deemed fit for the start of the season. Alberto Aquilani has also been brought back from Juventus as they had given the player on loan to Juve.

Each and every Liverpool fan is very eager for the season to start as they have showed lots of promise in the pre-season matches in their Asia tour. People are considering this group of Liverpool players to fight for the EPL title with lots of passion, determination and vigour this season.
