Gerrard is confident Liverpool can begin to climb up the Premiership table now that Fernando Torres is fit again.
"If we get back to our full-strength team, and we get people fit, we're confident we are good enough to finish in the top four," said the skipper.
"Torres's return is massive for me, massive for everyone. He's the main man, he's our top scorer and we need him back firing. If that happens I'm sure we'll move back up the league and get in them top four places.
"Without a doubt that has to be the main aim this season. It's obviously important for the club, and having played in the Champions League for such a long time, it's very important.
"We'll be right up for the Arsenal game on Sunday. If we can get three points there and then take that into the Wigan game, we can turn a corner."
