Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists anything is possible after their 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

Rodgers unequivocally backed his side's potential to eradicate that deficit in 2015, pointing to the renewed confidence within the squad and the upcoming return of Daniel Sturridge as reasons for optimism.

He said: "It was always going to be a big challenge. We've got to make up points - we've got to make that up over the next part of the season.

"But we have showed that this is a group that can go on a run of games. In the second half of last season, we went on a run of 11 games [won]. If we can put a run of games together, that can very quickly move you up.

"You saw today that the most important thing was the confidence and ability in the team returning. Align that with the pressure and intensity they bring to the game.

"You bring Sturridge back into that, hopefully in the New Year, in January, and then you get back to being the team that we have been in the last few years. There's work to do but at least we're moving in the right direction again - which is what we want."
