Liverpool still striving for title glory

Despite slipping to seven points in arrears of league leaders Manchester United, Liverpool are determined to fight until the death as they chase that elusive premiership.

The Reds were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester City on Sunday and manager Rafael Benitez admits it will be tough to come back from this position to overhaul Sir Alex Ferguson's Red Devils.

"When you are playing catch up, you have to win so we are disappointed, obviously," Benitez told Sky Sports.

"You never know. Each game you have chances. Chelsea are speaking that they still have a chance, so we also have a chance.

"We have lost two points, but we can win our games and we still have to play at Old Trafford so we will see."
