Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson feels that there is growing belief at Anfield that the club can end their 24-year wait for a top flight title.
The Reds, who dominated English football throughout the 1970s and 1980s, last won a top flight title in 1990.

They jumped to the top of the Premier League standings yesterday when beating Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at Anfield. And Lawrenson, who was at the ground, senses the belief that the title can be won is growing.
"I was there and there is that great expectancy", he told BBC Radio 4.

"That in itself will bring more pressure on to the players.
"You'd argue that Sunday was the first time really that everyone started to believe, if you're a Liverpool fan, that they could win the league."
Lawrenson won five league titles during his spell at Liverpool, starring in the Reds' defence.
Liverpool continue their title push next Sunday with a visit to West Ham.
The Reds currently sit two points clear at the top of the league.
