Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle reckons Liverpool are still a powerhouse in the world game despite them not having won the title since 1990.
Coyle’s side welcome Liverpool to the Reebok Stadium this weekend.
Coyle said: "It doesn't affect their status, just as it never affected Manchester United's status when they hadn't won the championship for 26 years until Sir Alex Ferguson sorted it out.
"Kenny Dalglish is used to winning trophies and football can change from one year to another.
"Liverpool will deem it as a long time since their last championship but in that period, they have still won trophies, including the Champions League.
"Now they are on the verge of reaching the Carling Cup final, when they would be big favourites given a team from the Championship will be the opposition.
"There is no doubt Liverpool will always be amongst the honours."
