Diouf rules out Liverpool

El Hadj Diouf has ruled out Liverpool's chances of winning the Premiership. Diouf signed for Sunderland from Bolton earlier in the summer, and has ruled out his former club ahead of the weekend's game between Sunderland and Liverpool.

“Liverpool do have a good team, but they can’t challenge United or Chelsea,” he told the Daily Star.

“They are at a different level.

“It’s not just about changing one or two players – it’s about not really having to change the team.

“We are not that far away from Liverpool.

“I used to say that at Bolton and every season, except last year, we did very well against them.”
