Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, has insisted that it would take a ‘miracle’ for Liverpool to win the league before he retires from the game.
The 32-year-old thinks that the Premier League has become even harder to win since the growth of clubs like, Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle.
He told the Sunday Times: “There’s not just (Manchester) United and Arsenal now but City, Chelsea and Tottenham. Newcastlecoming as well. The Premier League has become a lot more difficult to win for everyone.
“We were eighth last year. If this season goes well, we get a bit of luck, improve, we have an outside, no, a 50-50 chance of being in the top four. That’s being realistic. It’s achievable.
“But even if we do sneak into the top four I’ll be 33 at the end of the season, so that’s why it’ll be a miracle if we win the title before I finish.
“But I’ll keep fighting. I’ll keep trying and see what happens.”
Liverpool registered their first win of the season at the weekend with a 5-2 drubbing at Norwich. A hat-trick from Luis Suarez was the highlight of the day.
