Giggs: It's dangerous to rule out Liverpool

Liverpool only finished seventh last season after a disappointing campaign under Rafa Benitez and after the manager departed Anfield, later joining Inter Milan, it was rumoured that new boss Roy Hodgson would struggle to hold onto his better players.

But following the signing of Joe Cole on a free transfer, Steven Gerrard has pledged his future to the club and morale is resurgent on Merseyside.  Though Liverpool are not considered among the favourites to win the Premier League, Giggs is reluctant to rule out the possibility of the Reds beating United to a record 19th title.  "Two years ago they were close to winning the Premiership so you can never write them off," Giggs told ESPN.
