Former Liverpool star, Jamie Redknapp, has said that the club cannot win the Premier League this season.
This was after Reds and and Manchester City suffered damaging defeats on Saturday.
Arsenal will go six points above Chelsea if they beat Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby on Sunday.
Liverpool have now been defeated six times in the Premier League this season, sitting in the bottom half of the table.
City would have gone one point behind Arsenal with a win at Newcastle United but it turned out a squandered the opportunity.
After a routine 2-0 win over Burnley earlier on Saturday, former Liverpool midfielder Redknapp believes that Chelsea can now be considered a serious rival to Arsenal and City in the title race.
“Yeah look we can forget Liverpool,” he told Sky Sports.
“They have had a few mentions tonight, but forget Liverpool.
“They cannot win the Premier League this year. They’re too far gone, confidence is too low, that’ll be a miracle if they did it.
“So I think there’s probably three runners, but one outstanding one. Arsenal are by far the best team. They’ve got the best squad, best organised, and they’ve been the best over the last four or five years.”
Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest while Manchester City suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Newcastle United.
