Liverpool have lost five of their last six Premier League games to fall seven points behind leaders Arsenal and Alan Shearer believes their title hopes are overFormer England striker Alan Shearer has declared Liverpool's title challenge is over and warned they "won't win anything" this season unless there's a dramatic turnaround following their alarming slump in form.The Merseyside club had made a blistering start to the campaign, securing five consecutive victories to sit top of the table, but their fortunes have nosedived since suffering defeat to Crystal Palace in late September. The result served as a harsh wake-up call, and Shearer fears they could finish the campaign empty-handed.Speaking to Betfair, he said: "If Liverpool continue to play like they did against Manchester City, then they won't win anything.

They'll get dumped out of whatever competitions they're in. They've got the FA Cup and the Champions League, but I do think the league's gone for them now they've lost five games.READ MORE: Liverpool receive 'clear and obvious' response after PGMOL contact over Virgil van Dijk decisionREAD MORE: Liverpool PGMOL theory emerges after VAR audio of Virgil van Dijk controversy released"I don't see them being in a title race now.

I think they would have to probably win every single game between now and the end of the season. It's the Champions League or the FA Cup for Liverpool, but they won't be winning any of those unless they improve anyway."The Reds started the campaign as reigning champions following a summer spending spree of £400 million - including two British transfer record-breaking deals.
