adminLIVERPOOL. — Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is confident his team can handle the pressure of the title battle after they moved back top of the Barclays English Premier League. The Reds thrashed Tottenham 4-0 on Sunday and will be champions if they win their last six matches. “There are still a lot of points to play for and there will be points dropped by all teams before the end of the season,” said Rodgers.
“We don’t feel the pressure and we’re very confident with how we play.” Liverpool were last top on Boxing Day and moved back above Chelsea with a convincing victory against Tottenham. Younes Kaboul scored a second-minute own goal before goals from Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson sealed the Reds’ eighth successive league victory.
