Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says history is on their side in this season's title push.
Rodgers believes Liverpool can take heart from Manchester United's success in the 1990s after Sir Alex Ferguson's team lost out to Leeds in the race for the old First Division title.
"If you look at the history of the winning teams they have always come close," he said.
"The United team that won it in 1993, they came close in 1992 when they lost it to Leeds. They came back the following year and won it. That set up an era of winning for them. It has made us even more unified and stronger to be more successful in the future."
