Rush still backing’ Pool to foil United

IAN RUSH still believes Liverpool can win their 19th English league title, almost 19 years to the day since he scored a goal which helped clinch championship number 18.

Bitter rivals Manchester United are three points clear with a game in hand of Rafael Benitez’s side and will join the Reds on 18 titles if they finish top of the Barclays Premier League this season, but Rush is adamant the race is far from over yet, with Alex Ferguson’s side still having to play Arsenal and Manchester City.

Rush, whose goal against QPR on April 28, 1990 secured that year’s First Division championship, said: “I genuinely do not believe this title race is over. United have to face a derby match still.
