Brendan Rodgers: 'Liverpool fans give players, management a boost'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that it is "vital" for the club's supporters to "dream" about winning the Premier League title.

The Reds are currently at the top of the table with a two-point lead over Chelsea.

After Sunday's 4-0 rout over Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool are in with a strong shot of lifting the coveted trophy.

"It's great oxygen for us, as a team and management," Rodgers told the club's official website. "It's great that the supporters have got that belief - that's so important for them, it's vital that they feel they can dream.

"For us, our focus and composure and mentality is just to work hard, because there's a process to dreaming. You've got to get the work done, or else it doesn't happen."

The Reds will take on West Ham United at Upton Park on Sunday.
