Jamie Carragher claimed the Liverpool players will be more worried about finishing in the top four than retaining the Premier League title after their shock 1-0 home defeat to Burnley.
The champions were sunk by Ashley Barnes' penalty in the 83rd minute at Anfield on Thursday night.
The Burnley striker was tripped in the box by goalkeeper Alisson and he converted the resulting penalty to inflict the first home defeat on the Reds since April 2017 - a run of 68 matches.
Star forwards Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were left on the bench against Burnley
Liverpool have failed to win any of their last five league games and are now six points behind leaders Manchester United at the midway point of the season.
