The goalless draw leaves them three points behind fourth-placed Spurs, with Manchester City level on points and two games in hand, but the Reds skipper remains confident.

“We believe we’ve turned the corner,” he said. “We’ve got two home games coming up and if we can take maximum points, we’ll be closer to where we want to be.

“There are a lot of people in the dressing room who are hurt at seeing us lying in seventh and eighth position and you learn a lot from these situations when times are hard.

“We have looked at each other and we want to put it right. The most important thing for me over the last four games has been the character and the desire the players have shown.

“As captain, that gives me major confidence as you know the good performances are around the corner if the solid base is there. Nobody is hiding and that’s a big positive

“Four or five weeks ago, the game at Stoke and the one here – real battles – we may have lost 1-0 but instead we have come close to nicking it.”
