Phil Thompson has refused to rule Liverpool out of the Premier League title race as the former Reds’ player has insisted that Liverpool still have a chance of beating Pep’s Manchester City to the league title.
Liverpool currently trail Manchester City on the second position with nine points and with an outstanding match in hand.
The Reds, who have won four league games on the trot following a three-game winless run, are also alive in three other competitions in addition to the top flight, including the Champions League.
Although the Mancunians have a comfortable lead at the top of the table, but former Liverpool defender, Thompson has insisted Klopp still knows he has a chance of leading the Merseyside giants to another Premier League crown, given their form and all senior players being fit.
In an interview with Off The Ball, Thompson was asked whether he thinks the Champions league should take precedence over the Premier League, given the lead Manchester City have at the top of the table currently, Thompson said: “I think the Premier League should always be your bread and butter, it has been ever thus.”
“Yes, the Champions League is wonderful, I always would like to think that the guys do [think that about the league] and at this moment there is still a chance of it and it will be juggling the both of them.”
Thompson added that Liverpool should continue to juggle all competitions without giving precedence to any in particular and stressed the top flight clash against Manchester City down the line will be huge.
“There will not be priority in them at the moment.”
“I would think he [Klopp] knows that there is still a chance with this team, the way they are playing, with everybody fit and the big game when it comes up against Manchester City will be absolutely huge and that is a little bit away.”
“So, there is no way to sort of identify ‘right let us put all our eggs into the Champions League basket.’”
Liverpool will face Manchester City in the top flight on 9th April at the Etihad Stadium and they will be determined to avoid any slip-ups before then.
