Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah insists they're still capable of finishing second this season.

Salah is determined for Liverpool to battle their arch-rivals Manchester United right to the wire as the Premier League reaches its culmination.

“I have to carry on, [there are] still some games to go and we have to finish second, we keep fighting for that and I hope we reach [it]," the former Roma and Chelsea ace said.

“For me, it's better to finish second.

“I know the first four places play Champions League next year but it's always better to finish second than third or fourth.

"If you look back on the history, you have to finish first, you have to win the Premier League.

“But it's always better to be [in a higher position] – first, second, third.

“If you didn't win it, second is [best]."
