Former Liverpool star Luis Garcia believes that his old side can make a serious push for this season’s Premier League title.

Despite few having given them any chance of competing for the title before a ball was kicked, the Reds are currently just four points off of leaders Chelsea with ten games to go.

Pundits and former players have been talking up Brendan Rodgers’ sides chances of glory in recent weeks, particularly now that the Merseyside club are the division’s top scorers thanks to the prolific Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez.

Liverpool also have home advantage for upcoming clashes with big sides such as Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City and have already thrashed fellow contenders Arsenal 5-1 at Anfield.

Garcia – who was a big player for the club during their Champions League-winning 2005 campaign under Rafael Benitez – feels that his former side have a good chance of lifting the trophy, but only if they really push between now and the end of the season:

“Why not?” He responded when asked by talkSPORT if Liverpool can win the Premier League.

“I watch every game that I can, they’re playing very well and even when they’re not they’re still getting result - that’s the most important thing when you want to get a trophy.

“I think a lot of Liverpool people think finishing fourth is good enough, but they’re only four points away from the top, so all they’ve got to do is make sure they don’t get too far away and take it all the way until the end with Chelsea.

“If they do that they have a great chance at winning the title.

“It’s not going to be easy, we know that, there are still a lot of games to play, but I certainly think it’s possible.”
