Daniel Agger: 'Liverpool must maintain form'

Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger has urged his teammates to maintain the run of form that has seen them move into contention for the Premier League and up into second place.

The Reds have not lost in the league since December 29, and Agger said that the performances must stay the same if they are to keep in touch with Chelsea, who are currently seven points clear.

"We have had some great results and there have been a few times when we have been all the way up there at the top," Agger told the Liverpool Echo. "We are in a good position but we are only in March. There is still a long way to go and a lot of points to play for.

"We haven't achieved anything yet and we need to keep going over the final 10 games. We have some big games against teams close to us in the table. They are games we have to win."

Liverpool's next game is away to Manchester United on Sunday.
