With Leicester not in action until 24 hours later, second-placed Spurs could have closed the gap to two points.
But Philippe Coutinho put Liverpool ahead and Harry Kane's 22nd league goal of the campaign rescued a point.
"I know they have a very tough game tomorrow," said Pochettino, referring to Leicester's match against Southampton.
"There are six games ahead of us and four points (between Spurs and Leicester) now so we need to believe. In football all can happen. To be honest, I hope that Southampton can pass (beat Leicester) and leave it at four points like now."
