Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge defensive mistakes will cost them the title this season.

Aldridge believes Liverpool will fall short at the business end of the campaign.

He wrote for the Sunday World: "I am always a pessimist when it comes to Liverpool, but I don't see my old team winning the ­title from the evidence they have ­presented to us this season.

"The way Jurgen Klopp plays means Liverpool will always give the opposition chances and, as Brentford showed in the 3-3 draw, Brighton highlighted as they came from behind to get a point at Anfield and West Ham highlighted last Sunday, high scoring games can go either way.

"Liverpool have been looking ­vulnerable to counter attacks with the high defensive line Klopp plays and there is not a lot he can do to change that approach because it is in his DNA.

"So I think Liverpool will be in the mix to win the ­Premier League title heading into the final ten games, but they have been conceding too many goals to win it."
