Fresh faces will help Reds move into league contention, says Gerrard

STEVEN GERRARD expects new faces to arrive at Liverpool during the January transfer window as the Reds look to move within reach of Premiership leaders Chelsea.

With potential new signings, plus momentum from another Champions League run, the Reds captain believes Liverpool - currently ninth but with two games in hand on Chelsea - can surge into contention.

Rafael Benitez’s side have recovered after a slow start to the season, and were impressive against Portsmouth on Saturday, winning 3-0.
