Chelsea have been warned that Liverpool still possess enough quality to comfortably finish in the top four this season despite a slow start. The Reds started the season poorly and had only won two of their first eight games, sitting 10th in the league after losing to Arsenal.
A run of four wins in six has elevated them up to the table and within touching distance of the Champions League places but still behind Tottenham. For Jurgen Klopp's juggernaut side over the past four years it is quite a slide, and one that has opened up the table for competing teams.
In the chasing pack behind Arsenal and Manchester City are Chelsea, Manchester United, Spurs, Newcastle and Liverpool, with Brighton also in the mix. Due to their brilliance over several years, last season's Champions League finalists still hold an advantage according to Gabby Agbonlahor.
