Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has revealed that he is not bothered by suggestions that his side could win the Premier League title this season.

The Reds are currently in second place in the table, two points behind leaders Arsenal.

"Everyone is taking points off one another and I'm sure other teams are taking note that we are a threat to them," he told the club's official website.

"But to be honest, I'm not too bothered about what people are saying about us. I know what this team is capable of.

"The main thing for us is to keep fighting and show that we are capable of staying in these positions to around Christmas time and then we will see where that takes us."

Liverpool return to league action on Saturday when they entertain Crystal Palace at Anfield.
