Liverpool have been tipped to come up short in the Premier League title race with Manchester City.
The Reds won 1-0 against West Ham on Saturday to temporarily move three points behind Premier League leaders Man City.
However, the gap was restored to six points after Man City ran out 4-1 winners over arch rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
Liverpool have played one game fewer than Man City, with the next opportunity for the Reds to reduce the gap once more coming in the early kick-off against Brighton next Saturday.

After Man City’s win, Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville, Micah Richards and Roy Keane said who they think will win the title.
While Neville didn’t give a direct answer, both Richards and Keane said that they think Man City will beat Liverpool to the title.
“Any time United play a half-decent team they get beat, so City won’t get too excited after that result,” said Neville.
“I think it’ll go to the final day. Man City and Liverpool are proven top teams, going at each other for years now.”
Richards believes that addition of Luis Diaz will help Liverpool, but still thinks they’ll lose to Man City in the title race.
“Liverpool are a top team, getting Diaz as well,” said Richards.
“It’ll be difficult for them to come to the Etihad and take something. I’m not saying they can’t, the fixtures do favour City but you can’t look at football like that.
“I think it’ll go to the wire, not just because of the result today but Liverpool will push them all the way.”
Keane was much more brief with his assessment of how he thinks the title race will pan out.
“I would go with City,” said Keane. “I think it’ll be close but the quality City have I think they’ll just edge it.”
