Steve Clarke has revealed how Liverpool is close to reaching their point’s target he set upon arriving at the club in January.
The Reds took just 25 points from their first 20 games of the season under Roy Hodgson.
Since Clarke and Kenny Dalglish were recruited in the New Year a more impressive 33 points have been wrung from 17 matches.
This leaves Liverpool on 58 points heading into a final weekend contest at Villa Park - just shy of Clarke's goal when he arrived on Merseyside.
"When I came here and looked at the league and how close it was, I thought it was achievable to finish in the top six," the first-team coach told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"You always have to set your goals high, and in my head I had a point’s total that I thought was achievable. I have to say we haven't achieved it yet - but it's still possible. If we get to that it will be a pleasing job we've done in the second half of the season.
"But a club like Liverpool should always have expectations to be as far up the table as possible."
