Brendan Rodgers remains confident that Liverpool is capable of finishing the Premier League season in the top-4.
"I have an inherent belief that we can still make the top four - absolutely," he told reporters. "I know what we are all capable of here. For whatever reason, it hasn't happened for us yet but I said to the players the other night our standards will go up after the game against Ludogorets [a 2-2 draw].
"Thankfully no matter how we have been, we are still within touching distance and that is the initial aim. Fourth and then moving forward. If that is the aim - and we are only five points off it - then that gives me belief we have every chance of doing it."
