Gerrard: Preparation key to title push

Brendan Rodgers' side sit top of the Premier League going into the last six games of the campaign, and know that a haul of 18 points from their final run of fixtures would give them a first top-flight crown since 1990.

Liverpool are on course to break the all-time Premier League record for goals in a season - set by Chelsea, with 103, in 2009-10 - having netted a remarkable 88 times in their 32 matches so far. 

"I remember us finishing last season very strongly and very consistently and I think we've taken that into this year," the England skipper told the club's official website.

"We had a very good pre-season and the form from day one, this season, has been consistent - and of late, I think we've taken it to the next level again.

"The run we're on is superb and it's credit to everyone in the squad."
