Liverpool's Spanish winger Albert Riera is adamant that the Reds can still win the Premier League trophy this season by overhauling Manchester United's seven point advantage. The 26-year-old also suggested that United's quest to win five competitions this campaign could work in Liverpool's favour.

"There will be a lot of twists and turns to come before the title is settled and it arrives at its destination," Riera told LFC Magazine.

"We want Anfield to be that destination and so first and foremost we must take care of our own business. We must be perfect in our home games to make sure that we stay in the hunt.

"Manchester United will slip-up somewhere along the way between now and the end of the season, I am sure of that.

"The run they are on is impressive but they do not have easy fixtures between now and the end of the season. Somewhere along the way someone will do us a favour - we hope.

"United are involved in all the competitions but for us it is all about the league and the Champions League. They have an additional demand and, while it might only be an extra three or four games for them, we have to hope that somewhere along the line it trips them up.

"Then, when we go there to play them next week, we can hopefully take advantage, win, and really put them under pressure until the end. We will be there waiting and hoping to pounce."
