Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson admits the players regard Leicester City and Manchester City as genuine title threats.

The Reds currently sit ten points ahead at the top of the table.

Robertson said, “This season, we have got a nice lead just now, but we know if we drop points then the two teams behind us will be ready to pounce.

“We just need to keep them at arm's length, and if we keep doing that then we keep that gap. That has to be our aim.

“We know it's going to be tough and realistically games are going to get tougher, and if we do drop points then it's all about bouncing back. We have done that so far.

“Against Manchester United we drew and recovered straight away and have gone on a good run of winning games. Returning from Qatar, we have to pick up where we left off."
