Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho makes Chelsea admission

Liverpool are 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea with Antonio Conte's men seemingly running away with the title.

Jurgen Klopp's men have had a torrid start to the year, winning just one game in seven matches in all competitions.

The Reds suffered a shock 3-2 defeat to Swansea last time out, but Coutinho says his side can still catch the west London outfit.

"It's a tough league, yes," he told the Daily Mail.
