Tony Cascarino has sent Liverpool a warning that the Premier League title race is not over yet, comparing their current lead to Newcastle’s famous title implosion of 1996.
After a dream Christmas, Liverpool are now the overwhelming favourites to win their first league title for 30 years.
Liverpool have 17 wins and a draw from 18 Premier League games this season
After Friday night’s clash at the Molineux, Pep Guardiola appeared to concede defeat in the title race, saying City have no chance of catching Liverpool and are instead now fighting for a top-four spot.
A host of pundits have also tipped the Reds to finally win their first ever Premier League trophy, including Gary Lineker and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
However, Cascarino is trying to keep the Reds stars’ feet on the ground by giving them a timely reminder of when it has gone wrong for title leaders before.

They are one of the most popular football teams in the world, with over 200 supporter clubs in at least 50 different countries. And yet, their magnificent history will forever be plagued by two of the worst stadium disasters of all time: Heysel and Hillsborough. Liverpool team picture from the club's first season. History Following the moving of Everton to Goodison Park in 1892, the club's then-president John Houlding suddenly found himself with the rights to Anfield stadium and no team to play on it. Always a practical man, Houlding quickly decided to circumvent this problem by forming his own club – Liverpool (should not be confused Liverpool Ramblers...
A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead. An eventful first 45 minutes also saw Adrian make his debut for the club just four days after signing, the goalkeeper replacing the injured Alisson Becker for his first of 11 consecutive appearances in the league and Europe. And, five days later, the Spaniard would prove to be Liverpool's hero in Istanbul. Following a 2-2 draw after extra-time, the Reds overcame Chelsea on pe...
