Peter Crouch believes Liverpool's title chances have GONE

Former striker Peter Crouch believes the Premier League title is now out of Liverpool's grasp following their draw with Tottenham.

Jurgen Klopp's side were held to a 1-1 draw by the north London side, having needed Luis Diaz's deflected strike to cancel out Son Heung-min's opener. 

Crouch said defending champions Manchester City will go on to win their remaining games and clinch the title, and Rio Ferdinand mirrored those views by claiming Pep Guardiola's side 'have one hand on the title'. 

When asked if Liverpool's title chances are gone, Crouch told BT Sport: 'I'd have to say yes. The standards these two clubs have set, they don't lose many, they don't draw many, you'd expect City to go on and win every game now.

'We said before the game this could be the potential banana skin because Tottenham defensively they had bodies behind there. What Tottenham have got, lots of teams haven't got, is three players upfront that can hurt any team and they proved it tonight.'

A win at home to Newcastle will send Guardiola's side three points clear of Liverpool with three games to go.

And Ferdinand believes City will be buoyed by the Liverpool result despite their Champions League heartache in midweek. 

The former Manchester United defender said: 'If City win tomorrow I think the momentum shifts straight on to their toes. That game tomorrow is pivotal, they at a really low ebb, really bad way to lose the game.

'Out of the Champions League, which they were trying to win obviously, and their moral would have been so low. But I think today's result and then you compound that with a win tomorrow against Newcastle, I think then they got one hand on the title.'

Liverpool will seek to return to winning ways when they take on Aston Villa on
