Gerard Houllier backs Liverpool for Premier League success

Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier backs the Reds to win the Premier League title this season.

Gerard Houllier believes that Liverpool can win the Premier League title this season.

Brendan Rodgers's side are currently fourth in the league table with 56 points from 27 matches, four points behind leaders Chelsea.

"This year they can do it," the 66-year-old told The Express. "If you look at some of the games, they have Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham at home and the way they are playing at Anfield they will be confident. Sunderland and Newcastle too.

"The games away, apart from Manchester United which is always difficult, are all winnable. You can tell I have been checking!

"I'm not putting pressure on them, but they have a good chance. Anyone in the top four can win the title."

Houllier won the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup among other trophies during his time in charge of the Reds between 1998 and 2004.
