Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is convinced their March 14 date at Manchester United will decide the title.
"I think the game at Old Trafford will decide the title," said the Spain striker. "If everything goes as we expect, we think we'll go there in a similar position to the one we are in now.
"Then it will be up to us to play our game and try to get a result in a ground that, in the past few years, has not been good for Liverpool. We know the chances we have. We have to go to Old Trafford and we'll play Arsenal and Chelsea at home. At the same time we shouldn't drop more points like we did at Stoke on Saturday."
Torres nevertheless recognises the threat United pose to Liverpool's ambition of a first title in 19 years.
"They are world and European champions," he said. "We respect them totally for the class of players they have. Many of them are among the best in the world and they're clear favourites to win the title. But we're working hard to compete and finish above them and we're on course.
"From the day I arrived it was clear to me that the League was the most important competition to the club, even more than the Champions League."
