Tottenham head coach Tim Sherwood has questioned whether
Liverpool have what it takes to top the Premier League come the end of the
season.
The Anfield outfit currently sit one point adrift of
league leaders Chelsea, while Manchester City - two points further back in
third - have two games in hand.
But, ahead of Spurs' trip to Merseyside on Sunday,
Sherwood has warned Liverpool that they must believe they can lift the trophy
and not allow the pressure to have a negative effect on their performances.
"They're very, very close - one point off the lead
and absolutely flying," he said. "They've got a strike partnership in
Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge that's the best the Premier League has seen
for a very long time, and they've given themselves a real chance.
"Now they have to believe they've got something that
might fall through their grasp and slip away and - believe me - that's a real
bad feeling to have because perhaps you don't play with freedom you'd played
with earlier in the season. I know what it's like myself.
"It all depends on how they can hold their nerve.
City and Chelsea have to be favourites because of the players they have who've
crossed that line and done it previously.
"But Liverpool have gone from seventh last year and
must be believing they can actually win this Premier League title."
Tottenham currently sit sixth, seven points adrift of
Arsenal in the fourth and final UEFA Champions League berth.
