Gerard Houllier tips Liverpool for title

By , Reporter
Gerard Houllier backs Liverpool to win the Premier League title.

Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier is tipping his old side for the title.

The Reds are five points clear at the top of the Premier League, and host second-placed Chelsea on Sunday.

The Frenchman, who won six trophies during his time at Anfield, thinks that current manager Brendan Rodgers will end the club's 24-year wait for a league title next month.

The Telegraph quotes him as saying: "Yes, Brendan will win the title because he has three games [to play] and the team has got consistency and a lot of confidence about them.

"They go forward and will always score goals and they want it so badly that they will finish even stronger."

Liverpool have won their last 11 games.
