(GSM) – Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has warned Chelsea ahead of their Premier League clash of Sunday. The Reds can play a decisive role in the title race between arch rivals Manchester United and Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Gerrard has made it clear to Chelsea that they will not roll over against them – even it means handing the title to United. Liverpool’s talismanic captain will not be looking to do the Blues any favours as he looks to push for fourth place and also ensure his side finish above neighbours Everton.
“We have a couple of games left and the idea is to take maximum points and see if we can get into the Champions League through the back door,” said Gerrard.
“If we take maximum points, who knows? The teams above us might slip up. All we have done is keep the pressure on.
“We won’t give up but it would be stupid of me to say this or that is going to happen – it’s important to be realistic.
“We are underdogs for fourth position but our fans also know we’ve got Everton breathing down our necks and we certainly don’t want them finishing above us.”
