Liverpool are currently seven points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City after 19 games, and could find themselves slipping further behind in the title race should they fail to pick up all three points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight.

The Reds visit Spurs later today and would drop to sixth should Jose Mourinho’s men hand them a defeat.

Finishing in the top-four could be difficult for Liverpool if their fortunes on the pitch do not change quickly, and they must turn their form around with a win tonight having gone five league games without one.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have drawn three and lost twice since their 7-0 rout at Crystal Palace, and while many now doubt their chances of retaining the title, former striker Peter Crouch believes that they are still firmly in the race.

The Liverpool hero reckons they are only going through a blip and that their players will bounce back pretty soon given their status as world-class.
