Ex-Liverpool striker Neil Mellor is certain about the Reds moving up the Premier League table and becoming title contenders if they manage to convert some of the chances they are creating.
Jurgen Klopp’s team, who drew 0-0 with Manchester United at the weekend, despite creating several goalscoring opportunities, are currently in eighth place in the Premier League table with 13 points from eight games.
Liverpool presently find themselves nine points adrift of leaders Manchester City and and two points behind fourth-placed Watford.
The Merseyside giants have been guilty of squandering numerous goalscoring chances this season, while the defence has also let in soft goals.
And Mellor, who admitted that Liverpool are not in an ideal position in the league table, is however confident of his former team moving up the standings and being in the title mix, provided they are more decisive in front of goal.

“I think it’s not ideal the position we find ourselves in after eight Premier League games”, he said on LFC TV.
“But there’s still an awful lot to play for.
“If you look at it, we haven’t had the rewards for our performances.
“If we can take some those chances then we will certainly start getting ourselves back up the table, where we want to be and back in contention.”
Liverpool, who are currently without their injured star Sadio Mane, have scored 13 goals in the league in the present campaign, the fourth-highest in the division.
