A two-point deficit to Manchester City does not sound like an insurmountable one with six games left to play but recent performances have not convinced anyone that Klopp's players are in position to capitalise on any slip ups between now and the end of the campaign.

How different the complexion of the table - and the general mood around the club and its fanbase - would feel if Crystal Palace had been seen off at Anfield on Sunday?

Theo Squires - Sometimes, a chance is all they need

I was ready to concede defeat in the Premier League title-race come the final whistle at Anfield on Sunday, having seen two tired, uninspiring performances from Liverpool in front of their own fans in the space of four days.

Having had the chance to go top of the table against Crystal Palace, a shock defeat instead consigned them to finishing the weekend in third.

Admittedly, it would still be a surprise to see City falter now.

How fatal the 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace will be remains to be seen, but for Liverpool they have been in this position too many times before.
