Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes Liverpool will make it even more difficult to finish in the top four.
Redknapp now expects King Kenny to inspire Liverpool to join the chase to be top four next year.
Redknapp said: "Liverpool are going to be strong again next season.
"They'll build and they've already got good players. They're winning at the moment without Steven Gerrard who is one of the great midfield players in world football."
