Brendan Rodgers has challenged title-chasing Liverpool FC to make history by producing the perfect finish to the season.

No club has ever won 14 successive Premier League matches but that is what the Reds may have to achieve if they are going to hold on to top spot.

With six games to go, Liverpool find themselves two points clear of Chelsea with Manchester City, who have two games in hand, a further two points adrift.

Rodgers’ side, who still have to entertain both their title rivals at Anfield, will be looking for a ninth straight league victory when they face West Ham at Upton Park on Sunday.

“It’s very difficult to forecast anything as the finish line is still a long way out,” Rodgers told the ECHO.

“We just have to approach every game as if it's our last.

“Arsenal have the record with 13 wins in a row (when they won the title in 2001/02), but why can't we win 14 in a row if we have to?

“We hadn’t won at St Mary’s or White Hart Lane or Old Trafford for a long time before this season. These are all barriers you can overcome.

“It's just having the belief in order to do it and we don't lack confidence at the moment that's for sure.”

Chelsea and Man City undoubtedly boast greater strength in depth but with Liverpool playing just one game a week until the end of the season that should have little impact during the run-in.

In a season of stunning progress Rodgers believes the manner of last weekend’s 4-0 win over Spurs represented another sizeable step forward.

“Depth will only come into it now if you get injuries,” he said.

“Our players are in wonderful condition – look at their fitness in the game against Tottenham having played in midweek. We owned the ball.

“That was psychologically our best victory of the season. It was a big pressure game.

“They needed to get the points to give themselves a chance to get in the top four and they wanted to atone for the 5-0 defeat at White Hart Lane. We wanted to extend our good run and there was no anxiety about our performance, only calmness.

“There was no nervousness, our tenacity and composure on the ball was great. The performance showed the real confidence in the team but there is still a way to go.
