Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is adamant it's too soon to write-off Liverpool title chances.

Liverpool were overrun by Fulham on Saturday to lose 3-1 at Craven Cottage.

But Hodgson told TalkSport: "It takes ten or eleven games for the league to take any form. It's still early days and I think it's certainly much too early for people to be pontificating on who's going to win the league and who's going to get relegated.

"I still think an awful lot is going to happen in the next 28 or 29 games but having said that I think we are getting to a stage now where some shape is appearing and more importantly, I think each team now is starting to find their rhythm.

"Sometimes teams find it hard at the very start to find their rhythm they are going to need to take them through the season."
