Paul Ince reveals the three moments that convinced him Liverpool will win title

Paul Ince has identified three moments from Liverpool's season that has convinced him they can win a first Premier League title.

The Reds are currently at the summit of the table but have Manchester City breathing down their necks with a game in hand.

It's too close to call who will be at the top of the league come May, but Ince reckons there are signs that this could finally be the year Liverpool clinch the title.

"A few weeks ago, I said that by this stage we'd know who's going to win the Premier League because Man City and Liverpool would be dropping points," Ince told Paddy Power News.

"But, the fact is, neither of them are. In 1993 when I won the league with Man United, there were defining moments in that season. The Fergie Time win over Sheffield Wednesday for example, we knew then that the title was ours.

"I sense that now with Liverpool. They're not absolutely blowing teams away, they're just having defining moments and decisions on their side."

Ince picked out three moments from Liverpool's season to prove his point.

He continued: "Against Everton when Jordan Pickford made that mistake, or against Fulham with the penalty, or Shane Long's mistake last week.

"Things are happening for them, that make me believe it's their year.

"Decisions are falling for them, and that's what you need in the title race. You need those decisions and the luck on your side.

"Liverpool aren't even playing particularly well in the league, it's scrappy to watch, but the end result is still the same – three points.
