Brendan Rodgers calm on Liverpool's title chances

Brendan Rodgers says that he is not getting away with Liverpool's Premier League title chances, despite closing the gap on leaders Chelsea to four points.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has remained calm on his side's chances of winning the Premier League this season.

The Reds defeated Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday to move within four points of leaders Chelsea with a game in hand.

"I'm just focusing on our own team," the 41-year-old told reporters. "We've got nine games left - we might win all nine and still lose it. We will just focus on our next game, that's Cardiff. I'm only focusing on our next game and looking to get three points.

"All the teams will drop points; we may well drop points, we may not. I can only look at our next game, I've done that since I've walked in the door. I'm not going to change now.

"We get better with the methods and obviously that gives us confidence and belief. We try to remain dignified in our work and just get on with coaching the players to be better. We're up there on merit, so of course we have an opportunity."

Arsenal are level on points with Liverpool, but are third on goal difference.
