Houllier convinced Rodgers will win title for Liverpool

Former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier feels Brendan Rodgers will deliver the Premier League title to Anfield.

Rodgers' side are five points clear of next week's visitors Chelsea in second with three games left to play.

Houllier said: "Yes, Brendan will win the title because he has three games 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.

"I very much appreciate Brendan's philosophy and his management and I like the man as much as I like the manager - he is a tracksuit coach and this is what we like in France. Tactically, he is very astute.

"I think it is even more difficult to win the title now because you have clubs like Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal who are big clubs with big histories and also sometimes bigger means.

"You can't have a better trophy for the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster than the league trophy."
