Manchester United legend Roy Keane still believes Liverpool will win the Premier League title this season, despite a slight hiccup of late.
The Reds have drawn their last two league games, failing to get the better of struggling pair West Brom and Newcastle United.
Meanwhile, United have found form, sitting second in the table level on points with Liverpool, and Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Despite the champions dropping sloppy points recently, Keane told Sky Sports [via Football Daily on Twitter] that he is still backing Jurgen Klopp’s men to seal consecutive league crowns:
🗣"I'm sticking with Liverpool"

Read Liverpool Verdict
After Liverpool annihilated Crystal Palace 7-0, having beaten Tottenham a few days earlier, they looked strong favourites for the title.
These last two results have changed that, however, and a big response is now needed, starting at Southampton on Monday night.
City look to be clicking into gear, and while United are not on the same level as their rivals, they have momentum at the moment.
Keane knows a title-winning team when he sees one, so his prediction will hopefully be correct come May.
