Mohamed Salah believes Liverpool will be champions if they win their last four Premier League games.
The Reds went back to the top of the EPL table after a 2-0 home win over Chelsea on Sunday.
Defending champions Manchester City had leapfrogged Jurgen Klopp’s side earlier in the day by winning 3-1 at Crystal Palace, but after Sadio Mane headed in the opener at Anfield, Salah came up with a sensational long-range drive to seal all three points.
Liverpool are now two points ahead of City, who have a game in hand but face a testing trip away to rivals Manchester United on April 24.
Klopp’s side have a run-in that looks more straightforward on paper, with Cardiff City and Newcastle United away and Huddersfield Town and Wolves visiting Anfield.
And Salah feels maximum points from those four fixtures would be enough to give Liverpool their first title of the Premier League era.
“My opinion, yes,” Salah told Sky Sports when asked if he felt four wins would be enough to pip City to the title.
“We need to focus on our games. We hope Man City will lose points. The Premier League is the most important thing for me.

“I do follow Man City to see the results. It can help and can push us to perform better. We focus on our game, but I knew the result of Man City [against Palace].”
Salah drew level with City striker Sergio Aguero in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with his unstoppable strike.
“I didn’t think, I just feel,” he said of his 19th league goal of the season.
“I go inside and normally I shoot with the inside of my foot but this one I went for power.
“I was lucky the ball hit the net like that.”
There are four other players within two goals of Salah and Aguero at the top of the goalscoring charts.
Sadio Mane’s opener against the Blues was his 18th league goal of the season, whilst Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling, Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Tottenham’s Harry Kane have all netted 17 apiece so far this term.

up liver pool, for ever we are winning
These Liverpool people are joker’s, the championship is not in your hand. Man City too will win all their remaining games, thereby making Liverpool to set a record for losing the premiership by 97 points. Happy days. Common city.
@Tola, Liverpool is winning this league, confirmed. In 2014, Man City benefited from that famous Gerrard slip against Chelsea. Now in 2019, Chelsea is done and dusted. Liverpool is not dropping any points again. Have you checked the remaining fixtures of both teams? Will City get 6 points from Tottenham and ManU? Even if ManU try to sabotage us, there’s no way City is getting maximum points from Ponchetino boys.
Bros, You’ll Never Walk Alone oo. Be Red.
Liverpool is getting this one, Man City will either loose or draw against Tottenham, and Man U may even repeat the same. This championship is not for Man City. Mark my words.
