Captain Gemma Bonner says Liverpool Ladies are confident of retaining their title, despite a slow start to the season. The Reds are fourth in Women's Super League One with only six points from their opening four games.
"There's a long way to go yet." defender Bonner, 23, told BBC Sport.
"Anything can happen so we're definitely confident within the group that we've got a good enough squad to go and win the league."
"The first couple of games, we struggled for the performance levels we know we're capable of," she added. "We lost a lot of players in pre-season and we had new players come in as well.
"I think you can see with every game that we're getting better and getting to know each other better."
Bonner insists Liverpool can close the seven-point gap on leaders Chelsea in the 14 games remaining.
"We've still got to play Chelsea and the other top teams again," she said.
"We're confident that other teams will take points off each other, but all we can do is concentrate on ourselves and pick up as many points as we can.
"I think there'll be a lot of surprises between now and the end of the season.
"As short as the season is, we're confident that if we get the points on Sunday, then we'll still be within distance of the top come the second half of the season."
