Steven Gerrard: 'We're happy to be outsiders'

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says that he is happy with the club's position as outsiders for the Premier League title.

Steven Gerrard has insisted that he is enjoying Liverpool's position as "dark horses" for the Premier League title.

The Reds moved to within four points of leaders Chelsea when they beat Fulham 3-2 on Wednesday evening.

Liverpool skipper Gerrard believes that the Reds' 5-1 win over Arsenal last weekend showed how much talent there is within the team.

"Against Arsenal, we showed how much class we've got," he told The Herald. "We showed we've got talent all over the pitch; at home, with the atmosphere behind us, you don't have to motivate yourself – you just go out and perform and more often than not you play well.

"We're in the mix. It's still early days, there's a lot of football to be played and we're not going to get carried away. But we are in good form. We feel as if we're dark horses.

"We just carry on playing and trying to win as many games as we can. We have the advantage, in a funny way, of no European football, because we have just got the league and FA Cup to focus on."

Liverpool play Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
