Liverpool first team coach Mauricio Pellegrino is confident the Reds can push league leaders Manchester United in the race for the Premier League title.

Liverpool have dropped two points and a game behind the Red Devils but Pellegrino believes the players in the squad are capable of fighting back.

"Everyone in our squad has personality. We have shown in difficult moments this season that we have character," he told the club's official website.

} "We have a very good squad - all of them are very professional. I think the players are strong enough.

"They have to prove something in every single game but I am not worried about the pressure. For me, the best thing you can do in professional sport is fight for titles.

"I am sure we can get to the last two or three weeks and still have possibilities. In the end, the difference between first and second will be the small details.

"For me, the most important thing is to stay calm. We have to think about the next game, not the last game in May."
