Brendan Rodgers plays down Liverpool title talk

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers plays down talks of his side winning the Premier League title, saying he is simply 'focused on the next game'.

Brendan Rodgers has played down Liverpool's title chances despite climbing up to second place in the Premier League table.

Victory over Southampton at St Mary's Stadium earlier today, combined with Arsenal's dropped points against Stoke City, saw the Reds move four points behind leaders Chelsea.

"I'm not focusing on that to be honest," Rodgers told reporters following the game when asked if Liverpool could now win the title. "I'm focusing on winning the next game. I think we've had an outstanding performance today, a really significant performance against a very, very good side with an excellent manager.

"The players were tactically brilliant today and we scored three and maybe could have had another five or six goals. But we'll just stay calm. There are 10 games to go now, we're in a good position and we just want to continue working at the level we are at.

"What is great for [the fans] is that they have seen the evolution of this team over the last 18 months and we've consistently being progressing and performing at a really good level.So we stay calm, we don't get too carried away. We just always focus on the next game."

Liverpool are back in action next weekend when they travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
