Reds defender refusing to concede defeat in title race

Sami Hyypia insists Liverpool are still capable of snatching the Premier League title this season. The Reds kept their dreams of top-flight glory alive with a 4-1 demolition of league leaders Manchester United on Saturday. Rafa Benitez's men now sit just four points off the pace, although the Red Devils do have a game in hand. Hyypia believes the weekend result could be a turning point in the season for both teams, though, and is refusing to buy into the belief that the title is already destined for Old Trafford. "We knew the United game was really important to win because if we'd lost it then the title would have been gone," said Hyypia.

Gap

"It will still be really difficult for us even though we are now closer to the top. But at least we have closed the gap a little and we will see what happens from here. "The one thing I can definitely say is we will keep fighting until the end. "If we didn't believe we may as well stop the season now. "We have to do our best and win our games and maybe United will drop points and we can take advantage. "We want to finish really well and pick up as many points as we can to get the highest place in the league."
