Javier Mascherano is still confident that Liverpool can win the Premier League this season, provided they claim maximum points from their final six matches.
The Reds host an Arsenal side who have not lost in their last 18 league games on Tuesday evening, but the 24-year-old Argentina international has insisted that they are only focussed on attaining a positive result.
"We know it is the only competition we have to play for now and we are fighting for the title," Mascherano told the club's official website.
"We have to keep going and maybe if Manchester United can drop some points we will be there.
"We have to look forward, try to win our next six games and we will see what happens.
"I think all the games we have left will be difficult, but the most important thing is to only think about the next one, which is Arsenal.
"Arsenal have some good players, such as [Emmanuel] Adebayor, [Cesc] Fabregas and [Robin] van Persie. They also have players coming back from injury who will be fresh for the final part of the season.
"Arsenal will want the points because they are fighting for fourth place, so I think it will be a very good match for the supporters to watch.
"I don't know if it's a bad time to be playing them, but we are playing well and have confidence. If we play to our level then we will have a chance."
