Hyypia Urges Liverpool To Look Forward

Liverpool had the chance to widen their lead in the Premier League last Saturday, but they could only manage a 2-2 draw against Hull City at Anfield.

It was the third time in as many league games that the Merseysiders failed to win on their own patch, and pundits across the country are now questioning whether the five-time European champions possess the firepower to maintain their title tilt.

But Sami Hyypia is refusing to get downhearted, instead choosing to focus on the positive aspects of Liverpool's campaign to date.

"We're only in December but it's very close," the Finnish defender told the club's official website. "There's a long way to go.

"Of course things could be better – we could have more points than we do, but we just have to live with it. We have to live with what we have now. We have to concentrate on the next game and try to win that."

Rafael Benitez's men will travel to London on Sunday to face an Arsenal side desperate for some joy after slipping out of the top four.

Hyypia added: "It will be a tough game against Arsenal but we'll go to win and hopefully come out with three points."
