Pepe Reina: Liverpool have an excellent chance of winning the EPL

Pepe Reina feels Liverpool have an easy run of fixtures and should win the EPL

Liverpool’s loaned-out goalkeeper Pepe Reina believes his parent club have an excellent chance of winning the Premier League due to their ‘easier’ run of fixtures.

The Reds are second in the league, four points behind Chelsea but have a game in-hand on their title rivals. The Blues also have to go to Anfield later in the season so Reina believes the fixture list, paired with their form and momentum, that Liverpool could win the Premier League.

“People now believe they can win the Premier League title,” he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show. “The demonstration of football against Man United was the best signal so far they can win the league.

“The fixtures are also a little bit easier for them than the other teams. Winning 3-0 at Old Trafford, even against a struggling Man United side, is never easy.”

Reina is on a season-long loan with Napoli who are third in Serie A but quite some way behind the leaders, Juventus. The Spaniard’s future at the club is still undecided but it isn’t looking good as Simon Mignolet’s performances recently seem to spell the end to Reina’s Liverpool career.
