Gerrard: Whole league wants Liverpool to win
Steven Gerrard has insisted that the "whole league" will be hoping that Liverpool can beat leaders Chelsea on Tuesday evening.
The former Reds skippers feels a win for Antonio Conte’s side will wrap up the title, and fears for his former side if Chelsea get a positive result.
Liverpool, and Jurgen Klopp will look to turn around a disastrous week, which has seen them lose three games at Anfield in the space of a week.
"If they lose the match, it’s game over in terms of the title race," Gerrard told BT Sport.
"That’s why everyone will have a Liverpool shirt come Tuesday night, because Tottenham, Man United, Arsenal and Man City will all be looking for that small glimmer of hope. The whole league needs a win for Liverpool.
"I know how big the game is for the club because the gap is already 10 points and they must give themselves a bit of hope by taking all the points.
"Anything else and it’s advantage Chelsea – and it would be a massive advantage. They have only dropped 11 points since the start of the season – and I also think they could improve in the second half of the season.
"If they win at Anfield, I would be very surprised if they didn’t go on to become champions."
More games than ever before! eir Sport will show 23 live games from the Allianz Leagues, including five triple headers. The eir Sport pack is free to eir residential broadband customers.
