Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers: 'We're battling our way back to form'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that his players are beginning to find form after responding to last month's damaging 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Since that match, the Merseyside outfit have gone three games unbeaten, the latest of which a 3-1 victory over Leicester City, courtesy of goals from Adam Lallana, Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson.

"We're working our way back - the players battled really, really well [against Leicester]," Rodgers told the club's official website. "You've got to earn the right to play football.

"After Palace, we recognised that's important and the players that are in there are fighting, they're working and getting the results. Bit by bit, we're climbing our way back up the table again."

Liverpool are currently eighth in the league table, five points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
