Brendan Rodgers believes Liverpool will need another 23 points to reach the Champions League as he prepares to welcome back Steven Gerrard.
Liverpool’s influential captain is fit again after recovering from a hamstring problem he sustained on February 10 but there is no guarantee that Rodgers will put him straight back into the starting line-up.
During Gerrard’s absence Liverpool won three consecutive league games against Southampton, Manchester City and Burnley but Rodgers feels that it will be a pivotal week for the club with tonight’s trip to Swansea followed by Sunday’s clash with Manchester United.
‘We have 30 points to play for, so I am guessing it will be another 23 points,’ said Rodgers. ‘That is how competitive it has been this year. We have won nine out of 11 in January and February, it has been a great run but now we have to be aggressive in our game and nail it in the last 10.
‘Everyone is waiting to see if Stevie comes into the team but the most important thing is Steven is back fit.’
Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski admits Swansea want to make up for the night of misery at the end of December when they were swept aside 4-1 at Anfield. ‘This is a game you want to play in, a second chance and an opportunity to put that right,’ said Fabianski. ‘This is a good game to bounce back in.’ – Daily Mail
