Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says his side will take it one game at a time as they eye a first league title in 24 years at Anfield.

The Reds moved second in the table with an impressive 3-0 win over Southampton at St. Mary’s, thanks to goals from Luis Suarez, Raheem Sterling and Steven Gerrard.

That left them just four points behind Chelsea in the standings and ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City, who have two games in hand.

He told Sky Sports: “We just want to keep winning games. There are 10 games to go now and we’ll just see where it takes us.

“We only want to win the next game, that’s our next focus. We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves.

“We’re enjoying our football, we’re working very, very hard. Our idea now is to win the next game, and that’s our only focus. I think for us we’re just keeping going with what we’re doing.

“Everyone speaks about Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal, and rightly so. They’re the three teams that have been up there for a number of years.

“We’re only concentrating on ourselves. I take great pride in working with the players and great pride in watching them and how they’ve developed over the 18 months.

“We just want to keep improving. Mentally, we are getting stronger all the time. Tactically, there is a number of formations that we’ve played this year.

“Our style will always try to be the same, but it’s good to have that flexibility in the team.”
