Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard insists Liverpool will qualify for the Champions League next season by claiming fourth place from rivals Everton.

Confident: Steven Gerrard
Gerrard, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea by various tabloids, has said: "We can reel them [Everton] back in. We're a better side than Everton in my opinion.

"There are 14 league games left. If we put a run together and beat them at Anfield I am sure we can finish above them.

"I think every league fixture between now and the end of the season is going to be a must win game. We can't afford to lose any more ground on Everton if we want to finish above them."

Gerrard believes the prospect of a Carling Cup final has boosted confidence around Anfield, saying: "We are certainly happier now than we were last week.

"We are in a cup final, still fighting for a top four finish in the Premiership and in the last 16 of the European Cup. If you look at the bigger picture it's not too bad.

"I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we would like things to be better but when so many changes are made at a football club things are going to take time.

"This is Liverpool, one of the biggest clubs in Europe, so when you lose three games in a week, you expect a bit of stick. We just take it on the chin, get on with it and do our best to ensure results improve."

Good to hear our captain sounding postive...

Hopefully he can do his job as captain and motivate the team to give 100%.

I still think he'll go in the summer, he said those things as last time he told the 'truth' he got a slap on the wrist by Rafa.
