Jamie Carragher: Liverpool are in the "driving seat"

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has claimed that his old side are in the "driving seat" as the Premier League title race enters the home straight.

The Reds are currently two points ahead of Chelsea in second, and know that victory in their remaining four games will see them crowned as champions for the first time since 1990.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Carragher said: "Maybe being favourites does put you under a slightly different pressure, but with four games to go you'd rather be top of the league.

"The Chelsea game [at Anfield] could be pivotal, but they said that about the Manchester City game and Liverpool dealt with that.

"City and Chelsea will make it as difficult as possible, but Liverpool are in the driving seat and it is up to themselves now."

Brendan Rodgers's side travel to Norwich City on Sunday.
