Lucas Leiva believes Liverpool will win the Premier League this season if they were to go in front of Manchester City.
Liverpool currently sit six points behind the league leaders, but have a game in hand over their rivals and the two still have to come to blows at the Etihad Stadium.
The match between City and Liverpool on April, 10 could prove pivotal in the race for the Premier League title.

The former Liverpool midfielder highlighted how no one expected the Reds to be in this position in the title race now as they were 12 points adrift in January.
“Nobody expected that Liverpool would be in this position by March,” said the former Reds midfielder to The Athletic.
“ City were ahead by miles. But it shows the mentality of Liverpool and how difficult the Premier League is.
"Now the league is open, completely open and I have the feeling that if Liverpool gets in front, they will not drop any more points.”
Liverpool's game in hand comes in a tough fixture away at Champions League chasing Arsenal, if the Reds were to win that they could go to the Etihad knowing a win would take them top.
