Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has said that he expects Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title again this season.

The Citizens pipped Liverpool to first spot in the final weeks of last season, despite losing to the Merseyside club in the run-in, and Hart believes that Brendan Rodgers's side will once again be among the frontrunners this time around.

"I expect them to be up there again this season," he told The Mirror. "They've obviously lost a few players but they've signed a few with the money they've made."

Liverpool travel to Manchester City for their first away game of the season on Monday evening.
