Danny Murphy has backed Liverpool to secure a top-four Premier League finish ahead of Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham - insisting his former side's track record of consistent performances gives them the edge over their rivals.
The Reds currently sit ninth in the Premier League table having only won four of the opening twelve league fixtures and most recently played out successive defeats to Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, two teams that were both in the relegation zone when they lined up against Liverpool.
Such results, coupled with defeats at Old Trafford and the Emirates, means Jurgen Klopp’s side find themselves eight points adrift of Newcastle United - who occupy the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot - ahead of their trip to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium this weekend.
