Brendan Rodgers calls for Liverpool focus

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that the Premier League title race is far from over.

Manchester City replaced the Reds at the top of the table on goal difference at the weekend with their 3-2 win over Everton at Goodison Park.

However, the Merseyside outfit will return to the summit if they beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this evening, and Rodgers called upon his side to pick up maximum points from their final two games.

"All we can control is our remaining two matches," he told the Liverpool Echo. "We need to win those and then see where it takes us.

"We can't worry about anyone else, we just need to focus on our job. We will keep fighting right to the end. What these players have achieved so far this season is nothing short of remarkable.

"To arrive with two games to go with the possibility of achieving something people could only have dreamed of back in August really shows the scale of what we've done this year."

Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea in their last outing.
