Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt has warned Manchester United the title race is not over yet.
Kuyt, who marked his 100th Premier League appearance for the club with two goals against Hull on Saturday, remains hopeful Liverpool can beat United to the title.
United are overwhelming favourites to clinch the championship as they are currently three points clear of their arch-rivals with a game in hand.
Time is running out for Liverpool to catch United with just four games left, but Kuyt is refusing to concede defeat and has vowed to push the leaders all the way.
"I believe in miracles in football," insisted Kuyt. "I have certainly seen stranger things happen in football.
"We'll just keep fighting for it - all we can do is keep winning our games.
"We have got a great team and will fight until the end and we shall see what happens on the last day of the season.
"I think they will need to slip up to make things interesting and as soon as they have dropped some points the pressure will be on them again.
"We will just have to wait and see and focus on ourselves.
"If we don't win anything, that's football. We just have to give everything we can as a team."
Kuyt appeared to mimic Rafa Benitez's infamous crossed hands salute when he scored his second and Liverpool's third goal at the KC Stadium, but the Dutchman insists there was nothing behind his celebration.
"It was not about Rafa's signals last week - he makes signals like that all the time in games," added Kuyt.
"It was just spontaneous. I was just happy because we were struggling in the game to be fair.
"That was game over but it is not game over in the league. We will keep chasing them until the end."
