Brendan Rodgers believes that Liverpool can compete for the Premier League title in the coming years.

The Reds have not finished in the top three since the 2008-09 season, and are currently 12th in the standings with 15 points from 12 matches.

"There's absolutely no reason why we can't [challenge] over the next number of years," he told the BBC. "Sometimes you've got to drop a few levels before you build.

"We'll get there in the end; there's absolutely no question about that. As a group of supporters, these fans deserve it."

Liverpool are in Wales on Sunday for their Premier League clash against Swansea City.
