Liverpool attacker Roberto Firmino is convinced they can win the Premier League title this season.

As they travel to Crystal Palace on Monday, Brazilian star Firmino has spoken more emphatically than ever about how Jurgen Klopp's side believe they are good enough to win the title.

“I am optimistic and I believe ­Liverpool are capable of fighting for the greatest success this season," he told the Mirror.

“I also think we have a better team than last season and that the new ­players will improve the performance of the team.

“Of course, we know we have to show it on the field and we know that, for our new players, it is not easy to adapt quickly to a new team. But I always think ­positively.

“We have shown in the last campaign that our dreams can be fulfilled and that we can return to the path of ­winning titles. This year, we must not fail and that is the attitude of the ­players.

“Certainly, my dream is to lift the ­Premier League trophy with Liverpool – and that's what we are trying to do."
