Ryan Babel says Liverpool must win all their remaining games for any chance to beat Manchester United to this season's Premiership title.

Asked if he felt Liverpool would have to win all of their remaining nine matches to maintain hope of pipping Man United to the title, he told liverpoolfc.tv: "Yes I think so.

"We will have to see what happens with Manchester United. Normally they wouldn't drop so many points but we will have to wait and see. Chelsea are also in the race and performing well.

"We have had two nice games in a row. Both were very positive and they have given us a lot of confidence.

"It was definitely one of the most special weeks I've had at Liverpool. I hope we can now carry on that way."
