Gerrard setting sights on fourth

Rafael Benitez's side are 19 points behind leaders Arsenal and are in fifth place behind arch-rivals Everton.

Gerrard said: "We're facing a big challenge to finish in the top four and we've got to forget about the title and focus on fighting for fourth place.

"There are a lot of teams around us who are in good form and playing well."

He added: "It's important that we don't let our standards drop."

Gerrard was pleased with how Liverpool performed in the goalless draw at title-chasing Chelsea on Sunday.

He said: "Chelsea was definitely a big improvement on how we've played of late. We looked more solid defensively and I thought we were the better side over the 90 minutes and if anyone was going to win it was us.

"Certain players who have had a bit of criticism of late performed really well and I think it was a good team performance against a side that have been playing very well lately.

"There are definitely a lot of positives to take out of the game. We controlled the majority of it and it felt as if we could have snatched it."
