Liverpool just need to keep going and have lucky with injuries
And Forlan, who won the Premier League and the FA Cup during his spell at Old Trafford, also believes the Merseyside outfit could go all the way.
"Liverpool have not won the league since 1990, but after Leicester City won the title last season, I see no reason why another side not used to winning it cannot do the same," Forlan told Emirati newspaper The National.
"Liverpool just need to keep going and have lucky with injuries.
"Having no European football helps, and their players have gelled together well.
"They do not have a player in the class of Luis Suarez, but Philippe Coutinho is very good."
Antonio Conte's Chelsea sit one point behind Liverpool
Diego Forlan won the Premier League and the FA Cup with Manchester United
And while Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho also don't have to juggle European football, Forlan believes Klopp's longer spell in the Premier League works to Liverpool's advantage.
"Klopp has an advantage over Mourinho and Conte as he has been at his club for longer," Forlan added.
"His players are confident and have scored more goals than any other team in the Premier League.
"My only concern for the is that they concede too often - letting in more than any other team in the top seven."
Liverpool will look to extend their league at the top of the table when they travel to Southampton tomorrow (3pm).
