Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says that he is happy to let Liverpool supporters dream of a first Premier League title.
The Reds are second in the Premier League following an emphatic 6-3 at Cardiff on Saturday.
“We are focusing on the immediate future,” he said.
“The fans can believe and dream, and when you come to see your team play away from home and they score six goals, you’ve got every right to do that. They have been a big part of our success this year.
“I’ve got to say that I am really looking forward to the Sunderland game. It feels like we haven’t played at home for ages.
“Wednesday will be a great night for us. We’ve now got five games left at Anfield, with three away from home. Anfield is a special place to play football, so for us, it’s about the immediate future.
Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick, Martin Skrtel scored twice, and Daniel Sturridge got one in the rout in South Wales.
A beaming Rodgers went onto say.
“We don’t work to just outscore teams; we work on our balance,” he added. “We are certainly not a team that is not worried about defending, that’s not the case at all.
“We were off the back of two clean sheets – which I take as much pride in – against two difficult teams, Southampton and Manchester United.
“We conceded too much space, but the key thing is how we respond and how we have grown over the last 18 months. There has been that resilience and confidence to know that we can get back in the game.
“We will analyse the other elements of the game that we can be better at. That will always be the case – you’ll always look to improve.
“Look at our imagination and creativity. You sensed the crowd felt that every time we were in their half, we could score. That is a wonderful recognition of the type of team that we are.”
