Steven Gerrard insists the title race starts now as
Liverpool skipper warns Chelsea and Manchester United to expect a
battle
We're coming to get you: Gerrard has rallied the
Liverpool troops
Liverpool captain Steven
Gerrard has warned Chelsea not to get carried away with their
flying start to the season.
Chelsea sit at the top of the pile with five wins from as many
games - six points better off than the Reds.
Manchester United, in
second, face third-placed
Manchester City and
Chelsea take on fourth-placed
Tottenham on Sunday.
And with
West Ham up next for Gerrard and his team-mates, the
England international insists the title race starts now.
'It was a tough start for us this season because we lost two
games close together and we knew it was going to take time to
recover from that.
'But we're slowly getting back to where we want to be. It's a
big weekend for the title race, so hopefully we can get a win and
turn things around.'
Liverpool had to wait until first-half injury time to open the
scoring against Debrecen at Anfield in the Champions League on
Wednesday night and Gerrard admitted they weren't at their best in
the 1-0 win.
But he added: 'There's more to come from us and we're improving
game by game.'
