When the ongoing season had kick started, even the craziest of Liverpool fans would not have thought that with 3 matches to go in the season, their team would be topping the Premier League points table, but, it’s the reality now. The Reds are on the verge of lifting the league title for the first time in the last two decades.

The things can still turn around, but, the chances are pretty slim that Liverpool would get displaced from the top in the remaining part of the season especially after Chelsea getting beaten recently.

There are so many people who have been responsible for Liverpool being in this position at this stage, but, the one man who is the most responsible is the skipper of the side i.e. Steven Gerrard.

The 33 years old midfielder who has been with the club in the thick and thins since a very long time has played in a deeper role this time around and has contributed a lot. Apart from that, he has also provided the motivation to the young guys.
In one of his interviews a couple of days back, when Gerrard was asked if he had started thinking that he would have to retire without becoming a Premier League champion, he said, “Yes, at times, I perhaps would have thought like that, but, once Brendan arrives, he gave me a lot of hope. His strategies were pretty simple and clear. I got positive sort of energy after his arrival.”

Liverpool’s next match is against Chelsea on 27th of April. They will be playing that match at Anfield and they would like to seal the Premiership then and there. A win in that game would almost see them through.
