Rodgers sleeping well as Liverpool lead the table

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists there is no pressure on his table-topping side ahead of Sunday's visit of second-placed Chelsea. "That is a big game for us and we will hopefully get over that hurdle - we might clip it, but as long as we get over it that is important - and then it is on to the next one," said Rodgers. "We must enjoy it. We are not going to not enjoy it.

"There is no pressure with it. People say to me 'Are you not enjoying it? You must not sleep at night'. I haven't slept better! This is brilliant, we are top of the most competitive league in the world, the city has a real vibe and excitement around it, the supporters are loving it and we are showing the real scale of the club."
