Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits it's difficult seeing Manchester United overtake them as the most successful club in England. United are set to go clear of Liverpool with title No19.
Gerrard said: "It's hurtful because we held the record for so long. You have to give credit where it's due - they've overtaken us for the time being but the good thing from our point of view is we are on our way back up and we won't give up the fight to overtake them again - don't worry about that.
"That is the motivation - to know your bitter rivals have just overtaken you on League titles. We can still boast about the European Cups, of course, but we need to amend the 19-18.
"Myself and everyone else will be doing everything in our power to do that."
