Reds boss Jurgen Klopp believes his side must win every game for the rest of the season to pip City to the title.
That ambitious goal can’t be ruled out on Liverpool’s current form and Leeds were no match for the title chasers at Anfield.

Liverpool have won their last nine games in all competitions, with none more important than this success in their game in hand on City.
City were 12 points ahead of Liverpool just a few weeks ago, but that lead has quickly been whittled away by a combination of the Reds’ blistering streak and a couple of blips from the champions.
