Liverpool striker Andy Carroll believes the club can still finish in the top-four and grab a Champions League spot.
The Reds sit seventh on the table having scored just 24 goals in 21 league matches and although their form has been better in the Carling and FA Cup competitions, Carroll is confident that can be transformed to the league.
"The objective is qualifying for the Champions League and we are up there and still in with a great chance of achieving that aim.
"I think it's quite possible, especially when you consider some of the results that we have seen over the Christmas period with the top teams, including Man United, losing matches. We're still in there without a doubt.
"We've done really well against the top teams and our away form has been great but in some of the home games we've struggled to put our chances away and I think that's where we need to make sure we start to punish teams.
"Hopefully we can start taking our chances and score more goals as a team.
"There's a great spirit among the lads. In the dressing room, everyone is friends. That shows in training and I think you can see that spirit in the games too.""The league games are just as important as the cup games we've got to look forward to because we want to stay in contention at the top end of the table," Carroll told the club's Matchday Programme.
