The former striker believes that Liverpool's aim remains a top-four finish, but suggested that a win over Antonio Conte's side could shake things up
Ian Rush says that Liverpool's upcoming Premier League clash against Chelsea is a prime opportunity for the team to bounce back from their recent woes.
Jurgen Klopp's side suffered their third loss in succession when they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, continuing a downward spiral that began at the beginning of January.
The Reds have won just one of their eight games since the turn of the year - an FA Cup third-round replay victory over Plymouth Argyle - and have failed to win in their last four Premier League games.
Having looked like realistic contenders for league honours earlier in the season, Liverpool have fallen to fourth and find themselves 10 points behind Chelsea, who they welcome to Anfield on January 31.
"The last three games have been very disappointing because of the teams we lost against," Rush told RTE.
"But [we have] a big chance now against Chelsea to try and get back to normal.
"Sometimes people get a bit too excited. At the start of the season I said if Liverpool can finish in the top four and win a trophy it'd be a fantastic season.
