Former Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt has sent a warning to Manchester City over the title race.
The Reds are still battling for the Premier League title, trailing leaders Man City by nine points with a game in hand.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have won their last two league matches, while Man City dropped points for the first time since October with their recent draw with Southampton.
Kuyt, who won the League Cup with Liverpool and has won the Eredivisie title with Feyenoord, has reflected on his own experiences to issue a warning to Man City.

The Dutchman says that dropping points in one game could lead to more pressure on Man City, which could open the door for Liverpool in the title race.
“Liverpool had a brilliant few days last week and it shows just how quickly the perception and mood of a season can swing,” Kuyt told Liverpoolfc.com .
“They reached the final of the Carabao Cup and made it clear they're not giving up in the Premier League title race.
“The Reds' win at Crystal Palace, coupled with Manchester City drawing with Southampton, brought the gap down to nine points. The chasers have a game in hand, too.
“All Jurgen Klopp's side can do is keep continuing to win – by whatever means necessary – and hope for further slip-ups. I've been in the position where Man City find themselves and I know pressure can force errors.
“When I was at Feyenoord and we won the Eredivisie in 2016-17, we were cruising at the top of the table. But when you drop points, you're very much aware that you've handed a chance to your rivals.
“It was crazy. We were in control all season and then we had the chance to win the league against Excelsior – a team already relegated – and we lost 3-0. We then had to win the last game and the pressure was immense.
“It was the same when I was at Fenerbahce in 2013-14. We were controlling the season but once you drop points, you can feel the heat massively.
“Obviously Pep Guardiola's City are a brilliant team that's won plenty and are reigning champions, but they will be feeling pressure.”
