Our number 8 says it is a privilige to be leading the Reds as they chase both the league title and the European Cup in the tail end of the season.

"It's an absolute privilege to captain this football club at any time but especially when the team is playing the way it is," said Gerrard.

"It makes my job an awful lot easier when you don't have to talk too much to players because they are just doing their jobs without that being needed.

"Confidence is really high right now and we're certainly enjoying playing together. We are playing without fear and without anxiety and I think you're seeing some superb football from us in the last couple of weeks.

"From front to back everyone is pulling in the right direction for the team.

"The goals are coming and I'm certainly enjoying my football at the moment.

"I'm playing with magnificent players. Torres and myself have had a lot of pats on the back of late but it's important to acknowledge our teammates who have been fantastic.

"That's from the goalkeeper and the defence right through to the front.
"The two full backs have been magnificent lately, the centre backs have been the same. I could go right through the team and everyone is doing their job properly long may that continue and hopefully it will right up until the end of the season.

"If we keep playing the way we have been over the last three games then it's going to be an exciting finish."
