Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp famously promised on his arrival to turn “doubters into believers” but it is the players’ confidence in themselves which he thinks will be key in the title race.
Klopp’s side have lost just one league match this season, to rivals Manchester City, and in their previous game before the international break bounced back from a rare error by Virgil Van Dijk and goalkeeper Alisson Becker to win and regain top spot.
In such a tight race – Liverpool lead by two points having played one match more – there are likely to be a few more moments which could swing the advantage one way or the other but Klopp has every faith his squad will cope.
