Liverpool's former captain Alan Hansen reckons this will be the year that the Reds finally reclaim the title.
"I believe that this will be Liverpool's year," Hansen told Liverpool's official website.
"Draws at home against lesser teams cost Liverpool last season, but I think manager Rafael Benitez has learned how to play against them," he added.
Hansen believes Benitez has developed his style of play into a more attacking, up-tempo approach.
"Instead of waiting to see what they will do, he has gone for what Liverpool fans expect, which is to try to hem these teams in and batter them.
"It was a style of play that started when they thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 in the Champions League and continued from there," he said.
"It was great to see, and I can see it bringing the title back to Anfield for the first time in 20 years this season."
On Liverpool's closest rivals, Hansen was dismissive.
"I actually do not see United winning the title this year," he said.
"Ronaldo just won too many games for them."
