Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling has claimed that the side are ready for Sunday's "fight" with Chelsea.

The Reds went five points clear at the top of the Premier League after Sunday's 3-2 win against Norwich City, and host the second-placed Blues at Anfield this weekend.

Sterling is quoted as saying by The Mirror: "We're definitely prepared for what's coming this week. Everyone in the changing room is really up for it.

"This is a really big part of the season and we will just go in there to fight again. Now we want to get three more points. We come in every day, we see each other and we know what the dream is.

"We will just take it as another game. We won't concentrate too much on what is happening outside, whatever comes, as we just want to take care of what is going on on the pitch."

Sterling has scored nine goals this term, including three in his last two games.
