Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he would be disappointed if his side finished fourth this season as he firmly believes they could win the Premier League.
The title race is always a close one, but this season, it may be closer than ever with Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all fighting for the number-one spot, with Liverpool and Everton not too far behind.
At the start of the season, Rodgers was aiming to get Liverpool back into Europe’s top competition, but after such an amazing start to the campaign, he is now looking higher than just fourth spot.
‘Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea are based around Champions League squads,’ Rodgers said. ‘They have been religiously in there and they have got a lot of depth that they can call upon.
‘But we know that if we have got the fortune to stay clear of injury and what not, I would put our team up against anyone. I would never give up the fight. Of course, the challenge is to get to fourth.
‘Once you can do that, it is all about seeing if you can go beyond that. But I will never give up the fight. With the games we have got to go and the confidence we have, we just need a bit of luck with injuries and to be able to manage the team.’
