Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho feels the club is capable of winning the Premier League title this season.

The 24-year-old France international may have only arrived in the summer in a £16million move from Paris St Germain, but that does not mean he is not well aware just how significant this season could be.

"The last time Liverpool won the title was the year of my birth so I am up to speed with the history and know all about it," Sakho, speaking at an appearance for Gatorade, the official sports drink partner of Liverpool FC, said.

"It would be fantastic to have the opportunity to go down in history, especially with it being my first season here.

"For everyone at the club it would be great, particularly the supporters, who are well aware how long it has been since we've celebrated a title.

"We have a fantastic generation of players here who are capable of creating their own mark in history."
