Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel says they're capable of gatecrashing the top four.

The Reds have not lost a league clash since their 3-0 defeat by Manchester United in December.

"We are close you know," Skrtel said.

"We play Tottenham and then we play Southampton later on so it is the game against the opponents that are also fighting for the top four, so they are going to be crucial games.

"But we are not looking forward like that, we are just going from game to game, and try to get as many points as we can and just believe we can finish in the top four.

"We believe we can get top four now and I hope we can do it."
