Dirk Kuyt believes Liverpool are ready to turn up the heat in the race for the Premier League title.
Saturday’s stunning 4-1 victory over Manchester United cut the gap at the top to four points and followed hot on the heels of the Reds’ comprehensive demolition of Real Madrid.
The Dutchman admits confidence is sky high in Rafa Benitez’s squad as they prepare for this Sunday’s clash with Aston Villa at Anfield.
And Kuyt insists the Reds now have the belief to go on and win their remaining nine league games.
“The result was a huge lift to the players,” Kuyt said.
“It will still be very difficult to catch United. If they win their game in hand it’ll be seven points, but all we can do is win our own games.
“We are very proud of beating Real Madrid twice and also beating Manchester United away.
“It was an incredible week. We got two very good results against two of the best teams in Europe.
“We enjoyed it and hopefully we can take this form into our next game against Aston Villa.”
United return to action at Fulham on Saturday and Kuyt believes they could find it tough to get over their mauling at the hands of the Reds.
“They have to struggle now and hopefully they will do after that result,” he added.
“We beat them 4-1 so they’re not so happy – let’s hope they take this into the next game.”
