John Barnes on Liverpool: 'if we go we will come back'
Chelsea are currently nine points clear of their nearest rivals Tottenham with 14 games left of the season.

Liverpool were Chelsea's closest rivals at the end of 2016 but no win in five has left them 13 points adrift of the league leaders and out of the top four.
