Liverpool legend John Aldridge is of the opinion that seven more points would be enough for the Reds to finish the season in the Premier League's top four.
Jurgen Klopp’s team were edged out 2-1 by Crystal Palace last weekend and presently find themselves in third spot in the Premier League table with 66 points from 34 games.
However, Manchester City and Manchester United, who occupy fourth and fifth spots respectively, have played 33 games each, while sixth-placed Arsenal have two matches in hand on Liverpool.
And Aldridge thinks Liverpool need to brush aside their loss against Crystal Palace and fight hard between now and the end of the season, with the 58-year-old backing the Merseyside giants for a top four finish if they manage to accumulate seven more points from their remaining four fixtures.
“We’ll find out”, he told LFC TV, when asked how much of a body-blow Liverpool’s defeat to Crystal Palace was last weekend.
