Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher is convinced the Champions League is within reach this season.
The centre-back is getting used to the new regime at Anfield under Roy Hodgson and admits the club's first aim, having finished a disappointing seventh last season, is just to get back into the top four.
And having under-performed so badly, recording their worst league placing for over a decade, the 32-year-old is confident the Reds will bounce back in the coming campaign.
"With us being out of the Champions League the main aim is to get back in the top four," he told talkSPORT. "If we do that we will have done well with the competition from the likes of Manchester City.
"But if we are up there things might change and we can look further.
"Tottenham did really well last season (finishing fourth) but you don't know how Champions League football will affect them.
"Some clubs will drop back and some will go forward - hopefully we are one of the ones going forward."
