Ian Rush: 'Liverpool need to believe they can win Premier League title'

By , Staff Reporter
Ian Rush insists that Liverpool need to believe that they can clinch the Premier League title this season.

Former Liverpool striker Ian Rush believes that the Merseyside outfit are capable of winning the Premier League this season.

The Reds currently occupy the final Champions League spot in the table, residing four points behind leaders Chelsea.

"We are still the outsiders to win the title but the fact we're still in the race at this stage of the season shows how far we've come under Brendan [Rodgers]," Rush told the Liverpool Echo.

"You have to start believing that winning it is possible. We have to be looking up rather than down. Before maybe we were looking over our shoulder and thinking fourth, fifth or sixth, but now with the position we're in we should be targeting fourth place and upwards."

The Reds have 12 games left to play in the league this season.
