Liverpool legend Graeme Souness believes the club are in a great position to win the Premier League title this season.

The Reds are four points clear at the top of the table.

"We're in a great position," he told Liverpoolfc.com, speaking before the clash with the Eagles, where the club marked the 100th birthday of his former boss, Bob Paisley.

"It's not theirs to lose, there's a long way to go and City are a really good team. Just keep your nerve and treat each game as the next one is the most important one, don't look too far ahead.

"If you can, keep that four-point advantage and it's first to blink really, in the long-term.

"As well as being a great watch, Liverpool are a pretty pragmatic team as well; they are a pretty strong outfit when they're not dominant, they're still capable of winning games. That makes them a dangerous team. It makes you league champions when you can win games without being at your best."
