Phil Thompson backs Liverpool to win all remaining league fixtures

Phil Thompson believes Liverpool have what it takes to win all of their remaining seven games and clinch the Premier League title.

The Reds are top of the league but have Manchester City breathing down their necks, with the Champions able to overtake them again due to their game in hand.

But Thompson is backing Jurgen Klopp’s side to push the title race all the way to the final day.

“At any given point, Tottenham at home is always a massive game, not just for Liverpool but for Tottenham too, in regards to Champions League places” said Thompson.

“It is huge for both sides. I think Liverpool, after getting their tiredness out of their legs against Fulham, will be ready for Tottenham.

“After previous international breaks, Liverpool have not come back afterwards and performed well but hopefully they will come back in a better place this time.”

He continued: “Southampton have done very well with Hasenhuttl. They have a bit of belief and it was a big win against Tottenham, while they did not have a lot of possession.

“That is obviously, with so many Southampton connections in the Liverpool side, going to be a big game for the Southampton side but I can see Liverpool winning again. It will be a tough game.”

Turning his attention to Chelsea, he added: “At the moment you do not know what you are going to get with Chelsea. They have been criticised and had a wobble but came back with good wins. They had the upper hand against Everton but could not finish them off.

“They have the capabilities to hurt you and with Eden Hazard you always have a trump card to be played. He will always be a danger. He came on against Liverpool for a cameo in the cup earlier this season and scored one of the best goals I have seen.

“The players will not need any motivation and we will be ready for it. This will be one of the tightest games.”
