Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers believes that his side have become a more balanced team since the turn of the year.

The Anfield club have taken 23 from a possible 27 points this calendar year and are unbeaten in the Premier League since mid-December.

"I think it's clear and you can see the way we've been playing for the last three months that there's a better balance to the team," Rodgers told reporters.

"The players are comfortable in the team and with and without the ball, collectively, we're much stronger."

The Reds take on Blackburn Rovers in the quarter-final of the FA Cup on Sunday.
