Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool are still in a 'great position' to become the first English club to win an unprecedented quadruple. The Reds are now level on points with City at the top of the Premier League after beating Aston Villa last night, as City take on Wolves tonight at Molineux.
Liverpool had to do it the hard way on Tuesday night after falling behind in the third minute, but they quickly responded through Joel Matip before Sadio Mane's header put the Reds in front in the second half at Villa Park.
The Reds now take on Chelsea on Saturday in the FA Cup final, two weeks before travelling to Paris to battle Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

And Carragher thinks the fixture list could play a part in deciding the domestic title - with City now facing Wolves and West Ham, both away, before Liverpool are back in Premier League action.
Carragher said on Sky Sports last night: "[Liverpool] are in a great position. Obviously City are in pole position, but the fact that Liverpool can now sit back in terms of the league games and just watch how City do for the next two games, I think in some ways that could determine how Jurgen Klopp goes next week at Southampton away.
"I think if Manchester City win their next two games they have one hand on the title, and I think Liverpool have then got to start thinking about the Champions League final and making sure players don’t get injured. I think right now, there is jeopardy in those two away games for City and that they could drop points. I think there could be a draw in one of those two away games."
Pep Guardiola 's side face tough matches away at Wolves and West Ham before they host Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa on the final game of the season.
