Liverpool are level on points with the Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table and Reds midfielder Xabi Alonso is enjoying the pressure. "The pressure is always there, you're professional," Alonso told the club's official website.

"I've been at Liverpool for a while and it's nice to have the pressure of being at the top of the table.

"We don't have to obsess about being top of the table, we have to obsess about each individual game.

"Now the job is done against Bolton and some of us will go off and think about an international and as soon as we are back we have to be thinking about Fulham at home."
