Liverpool had high hopes at the start of the season, with captain Steven Gerrard claiming they were aiming to win the Premiership. Liverpool last won the league seventeen years ago, which has left many fans frustrated.

Today, Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina has claimed that a good league campaign is more important than trophies, but has only set their target as a top four finish.

"For us our target is to be in the top four first and then to win a trophy, as many as we can but obviously after 18 years our big target is the Premiership," Reina said.

"But knowing big sides are involved like Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea - mainly it is going to be tough and it will be a long race and this is just the beginning."
