Liverpool must keep pace with Tottenham and Arsenal or risk finishing outside the Premier League top four, according to Glen Johnson.
The two North London clubs have made an impressive start to the season, with the Gunners sitting at the top of the table on 18 points after seven matches, while Spurs are just a point back in third. Having played a game less, Liverpool are currently languishing in eighth, nine points adrift of Mikel Arteta's league leaders.
Former Reds right-back Johnson has admitted that he didn't expect Jurgen Klopp's side to have any trouble qualifying for the Champions League - but now says it is vital that the two clubs from the capital are not allowed to get too far away from them.
