Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they're not far from challenging champions-elect Chelsea.
Antonio Conte's side, 14 points clear of Liverpool, will clinch the title if they win at West Brom on Friday night.
“You have to look at the games we played against Chelsea," Klopp said.
“We were not worse than 14 points or whatever it is at the moment. That's for sure.
“But they are experienced, cold as ice and they get the points. They play very serious and finish when they have to finish.
“Now they are in a good run again and difficult to stop at this moment but we will all have a different season next year. It's not just about Chelsea.
“You saw how we played against Tottenham (Liverpool won 2-0 at Anfield). We all know the gap is not that big, but the gap was big enough.
“Chelsea deserves the title but I said already they had the most luck with injuries.
“Diego Costa? Did he miss one game? Eden Hazard, was he out for one game? Pedro could play, Willian could play, their defensive line could play. You need this luck and then you can go through.
“I don't say we could have gone through but the gap would have been closer."
