Brendan Rodgers says "It is not Over until it is Over", Liverpool Can still Win

The Liverpool manager delivered a defiant rallying call ahead of tonight’s showdown with Crystal Palace by casting doubt on City’s ability to win their final two matches despite Saturday’s 3-2 win over Everton taking them to the Premier League summit on goal difference.

A victory at Selhurst Park would see Liverpool re-establish a three point lead and put the pressure back onto Manuel Pellegrini’s side, who host Aston Villa on Wednesday.?

“The message to the players is take it to the final day,” said Rodgers. “We have seen so many things happen on the final day before. That is where we want the season to go that is for sure. Hopefully, it will.?

“Manchester City need to win all their games which means they will have won five games in a row and they have only done that once this season. So it will be a wee bit new for them as well. It is certainly not over by a long way.?

“At this stage of the season to play three games that really, really matter is a real, real tough ask for them. Aston Villa are an incredible team the counter attack and better away from home and West Ham, on their day, can be a really difficult opponent.?

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists his side will bounce back stronger next season after they just missed out on the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League title.

The Reds came from behind to defeat Newcastle United 2-1 at Anfield on the final day to leave the club with their second-highest points tally in Barclays Premier League history. It was not enough to overhaul Manchester City, however, who recorded a decisive three points in defeating West Ham United to claim their second League title in three years.

The Reds, though, ended up in second place and two points behind City to mark an impressive improvement from 2012/13 when they finished in seventh, 28 points behind champions Manchester United.

"It has been a wonderful campaign with a lot of growth and development," Rodgers said. "It has been incredible to see the supporters, to see the power of the club, the institution that is Liverpool. And we've made them dream, that's our job.

"The great thing about us is that we will improve, we will get better next season. We're a young group, we'll add more players and we'll be ready to fight again, now we've got the belief." - PremierLeague
