Premier League: Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard says they are title contenders

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes that the 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford demonstrated their title-winning credentials.

Boss Rodgers has previously claimed that the Reds were not in the title race and, although he was more positive after the Old Trafford victory, he opted to stay cautious when talking about silverware. "It's exactly the same," he told Sky Sports. "I think we're a developing side. We're probably a year ahead of where we've been but that's testament to the players and how quickly they're adapting to the methods. "The biggest difference is that we're believing all the time. You come here, you win 3-0 playing like we did today and it's another statement in terms of where the team is going. "I repeat (what I said) before, we could win the next nine games and still not win it but certainly our focus now will be to get ready. "We've got a tough game against Cardiff next week away and it's five games on the spin now. Terrific results against tough opponents and we've just got to keep it going. "I think that we're coming into a real strong stage of the season. We did the same last year and we're doing the same this year."
