Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez believes his team's unbeaten record against their title rivals this season could be critical.
Including Aston Villa, Benitez's side have not lost in five games so far against their rivals in the top five.
That run consists of a double over Chelsea, the first time they have done that since they last won the title in 1990, plus a win over Manchester United and draws at Villa and Arsenal.
Benitez, whose side face a potentially decisive trip to Manchester United on March 14, said: 'What is important is we have not lost this season to any of the teams who are at the top with us. If you want to be contenders, if you want to be closer to the title, that is the key point.'
Liverpool's two-goal hero against Chelsea Fernando Torres said: 'It is a very long title race. We know United are at the top but we have time and are going to fight until the end. We still have a chance.'
