Steven Gerrard: 'I'd take fourth now'

By , Reporter
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits that he would be happy if the side finished fourth in the Premier League this season.

Steven Gerrard has said that he would settle for a fourth-placed finish in the Premier League this season.

Liverpool have been challenging at the top of the table for much of the campaign so far, but a couple of defeats over the festive period have seen them slip to fourth.

The captain told Sky Sports News: "If you offered me fourth spot now, yes [I would take it]. The reason I would take it is we've been out of the Champions League for so long, the chance to get Champions League football back here at Anfield, I'd snap your hands off.

"[Winning the Premier League] scares me really. I don't know how I'd handle myself. When I won the Champions League, for the week after, talk about being on cloud nine, all your cliches, it's even better than that.

"If I could add a Premier League title to my collection it would probably be the best day of my life besides my kids being born, I think it would almost top the Champions League because it's the one I haven't got."

Liverpool have not finished in the top four and clinched a Champions League spot since coming second in the league in the 2008-09 season.
