Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch believes his side can finish in the top four, despite missing opportunities to pull further away from Liverpool earlier this season.
Spurs have impressed this term, claiming a spot in the top four early on but have been replaced by the Reds.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the league since before Christmas in a run that has coincided with Spurs’ drop in form which has seen them win only one of their last five league games.
"There was an opportunity earlier in the season," said Crouch, according to Press Association Sport.
"We had a couple of draws and it was frustrating we couldn't pull away more. But I still feel we have enough ability.
"You look around the dressing room at the players who aren't playing and there is so much quality here. I still believe we have a real opportunity."
Crouch believes that Liverpool’s past experience in qualifying for the Champions League will be vital in the run in until the end of the season.
"The previous seasons don't lie," Crouch added. "They have always been in the Champions League.
"They had a blip at the start of the season and people said other people can get in there but if I'm honest if you want to get in the Champions League then Liverpool will be the toughest side to displace.
"We have to make sure we are in there and in a position to do that."
Tottenham travel to Wolves on Wednesday looking for revenge after losing the reverse fixture 1-0 at White Hart Lane earlier in the season.
"You think one team is cementing the fourth spot, then they lose and another team wins," Crouch said.
"It's going to be really tight until the end of the season, we have to make sure we are close enough right to the end.
"I believe we have enough. The manager strengthened in January with a couple of signings to add to the squad and I think we have enough ability.
"We have a big squad with international players who can come in and play in different positions. I'm sure we will be strong enough."
