Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold says the players feel they can challenge Manchester City in the title race this season.
Alexander-Arnold is preparing for tomorrow's trip to Cty.
"Being in three campaigns where we should have won the league if it wasn't for City - obviously we won one but were close in two more - you get a feeling for what you know you are capable of doing," says the Liverpool vice-captain. "Looking around the dressing room, looking at the players we have got, the team, the spirit, the vibe around the team, that (challenging for the league) is something that we feel is achievable.
"If that wasn't the case, I would be here saying 'I want to get back in the top four' because, genuinely, there is nothing wrong with that for this team, a team that has just finished outside the Champions League places.
"There is a rebuild going on, and new players and a lot of senior players have left, so it would be very normal to say 'get back in the top four and push on from there'. But it (challenging) is something that we believe we can achieve, that is where our sights are at.
"If it doesn't happen, we have ourselves to blame and we will focus on that if it happens. Right now we have put ourselves in a good position, we have built a great foundation. It is just about consistency. The hardest thing in football is consistently winning games."
