Liverpool captain insist top four finish still possible

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has admitted they cannot afford to drop any more points if they want to keep alive their slim hopes of finishing in the top four.

Saturday's defeat to Arsenal has left the Reds trailing the Gunners by ten points in the race for fourth spot and a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.

Gerrard, who missed the Arsenal game through injury, has rallied his team-mates not to give up on fourth place and fight until the end of the season.

"A few weeks ago, people were writing off Arsenal's season, but their recent performances show how foolish that is. That's what we need to do now," Gerrard told the Daily Mirror.

"We still have plenty of points to play for in the league, but it means we can't afford to drop too many more points between now and the middle of May if we want to get back into the top four.

"Competition for the [fourth] Champions League spot is very tough, but we still have to play most of the teams around us, and defeating those sides will still play a major part in deciding where we finish."
