Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is confident that his side could win the Premier League this season after their positive start to the 2013/2014 campaign.
The Reds are currently second in the league, only behind Arsenal, who they face this weekend at the Emirates Stadium, with a win meaning they would leap-frog The Gunners into top-spot.
Rodgers’ men have been superb this season so far and with Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez both firing in front of goal, their manager is quietly confident that his side can compete for the title come May.
“Arsenal are a top team and the competition this year is very close,” he said.
“Liverpool is about winning trophies and that expectancy is always here. I believe we are in a good place at the moment having started this season as we would have wanted.
“We have started strongly, have put a marker down showing we are going to be consistent and I think we can only get better from here.
“We have a lot of young players who are still developing, and that goes for the front two that everyone is talking about.
“Daniel (Sturridge) is 24 is improving all the time and Luis Suarez has shown us an improvement in his footballing ability and his maturity.
“That bodes well for us but we won’t get carried away. They must keep their concentration and continue to work very hard every day on the training field.
“That is what has brought us success over a period, not just this early part of the season but since the turn of the year.”
