Mark Hughes thinks Liverpool won't win the title

With just one more Boxing Day match to go, Liverpool will face Stoke City at Anfield Road this Tuesday. The Reds are looking strong and competitive, a victory would keep them in trail of Chelsea's lead and keep the six-point distance from Jurgen Klopp's side. Mark Hughes who knows Liverpool very well from his days as a player, is convinced that they will keep the curse that has prevented them from winning the tournament since it was invented back in 1991. 

Ahead of Stoke's City's visit to Anfield Road, Hughes said: "Every year it's more difficult. Every year it keeps perpetuating it becomes more difficult. Certainly when I was at United it was talked about before the season, during the season and at the end. And if you hadn't done it then it was debated again in a negative way. It was always there.

"That's maybe why, being part of that team [in 1992-93] and being able to do that [win United's first title since '67'], that team is remembered and revered a little bit because we were able to break that long line of difficulty of winning the league championship. Do I think Liverpool can do it? Yes, they're capable without a doubt and they have the potential to win it. Liverpool will feel this is a good opportunity to get rid of that weight and have a period of success like they had in the '80s and early '90s. They seem to have the belief they can and it seems a really positive club again."
