Liverpool's chances of retaining the Premier League title this season suffers a major setback following their 1-0 defeat to Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.

Danny Ings' second-minute strike was all the home team needed to claim maximum points and deny the Reds a chance to extend their lead to three points on the table.

Despite playing one game more, the Merseyside are joint table toppers with Manchester United ahead of their EPL meeting at Anfield on January 17.

Meanwhile, Supercomputer predicts that Liverpool will finish three points behind eventual winners Manchester City this campaign.

According to the Mirror, Jurgen Klopp's men will end up with 80 points - the same as Tottenham Hotspur but with a better goals difference.

Manchester United have been tipped to finish fourth, narrowly beating both Leicester City and Aston Villa, who will finish fifth and sixth respectively.

Man United legend Roy Keane feels delighted with the display of the Red Devils in recent weeks, but is still backing Liverpool to win the title.
