England legend Stuart Pearce believes that Liverpool don't have the same fear factor as Manchester clubs.

The Reds have struggled to finish games off this season, and in their last seven games in all competitions, they have registered just one win.

Pearce suggests that Jurgen Klopp's side lack the killer-instinct of top clubs.

"I just think they're not finishing teams off," said Pearce.

"They've had a superiority of possession in the games but they're just not finishing teams off.

"Maybe that little air of vulnerability that other teams coming into the game to face them, there's not that fear factor like there is at the moment with Manchester United and City especially, maybe even a little bit with Tottenham as well."
