Traore hoping for magnificent seven

Last updated : 25 March 2003 By Chris Maxwell
Sunday's 3-1 victory over Leeds lifted Liverpool into fifth position - just two points behind Chelsea in the race for the Champions League. Traore, though, feels that the Reds may have to finish the season with seven wins if they are to finish in the top 4.

Traore told the club's official website: Maybe six wins will be good enough for us but it could be the case that we need to win all seven. If that's the case then we have to go for it and do our best.

"We have shown in the past that we can put a good run of results together so we're confident we can finish this season on a high.

"It's good that we go to Chelsea on the last day of the season because Champions League qualification could be in our hands before that game. If we go there needing to win then I know we can do it.

"Whatever happens, it's going to be an exciting end to the season and we will give it our best shot to pick up as many points as possible in our remaining games."
