Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers still believes his side have a terrific chance of qualifying for the Champions League this season.
The Reds boss insists closing a nine-point gap on fourth-placed Tottenham is tough but not insurmountable, particularly as they face many of their closest rivals at Anfield.
"We have nine points difference but we can do it, there is no question about that," he said.
"It is a lot of points to make up but we will fight and accept the challenge in front of us.
"We have had a lot of tough games and we have a lot of what we would consider our big rivals for those (Champions League) positions to play at home.
"Our form at home is getting better, we are scoring goals and are defensively strong so we sense a real opportunity.
"I believe if we continue to play how we have been and retain that focus and mentality we have a terrific chance.
"It is going to be very tough but it is not something which is impossible.
Liverpool's unwanted record this season of not beating a side in the Premier League's top 10 has been used as a stick to beat them with.
