Liverpool legend Ian Rush has backed his former club to pip Manchester United to the Barclays Premier League crown. United need just 10 points from their last five games to be certain of retaining their title but Rush, who scored the goal which clinched Liverpool’s last title 19 year years ago, is refusing to throw in the towel.
He said: “I genuinely do not believe this title race is over. United have to face a derby match still. “If Liverpool were ahead in the title race, the last thing they would want is a derby against Everton. But United have to face Manchester City plus an Arsenal side on a 20-match unbeaten league run. “All Liverpool can do is keep taking points and not worry about United.
“Liverpool are back at Anfield this weekend with a good chance of another three points (against Newcastle). “I do not want Newcastle to go down having played for them but like every Liverpool fan I want them beaten on Sunday.”
Newcastle are up against it at the other end, three points from safety, but manager Alan Shearer is hoping to cause an upset. He said: “Everybody will write us off at Liverpool, and I understand that, but we will go there prepared and see what happens. “They are going for the title and they are under pressure too. I saw them at Hull [on Saturday]. They didn’t play particularly well, but won the game. “You never know in football. We will not give up.”
