Liverpool forward Iago Aspas believes that securing a Champions League spot by finishing the season in the top four should be the "minimum" aim for the club.

The Merseyside outfit have had a strong start to the 2013-14 campaign by reaching second in the Premier League table after 11 games.

"I think we should be aiming to finish in the top four," Aspas told the club's official website. "I think it is the minimum for this club.

"The squad is very good, you can see that when you consider it player by player. My ambition is to play as many times as possible and to try to do it in the best possible way to finish in the top four."

The Reds sit just two points adrift of leaders Arsenal in the standings.
