Reds set sights on Chelsea’s crown

STEVEN GERRARD and the chairman who describes him as “irreplaceable” have both made winning the Premiership crown their number one objective for next season.

Liverpool chairman David Moores, who will spend the next few weeks sifting through the various consortiums wishing to invest in the club, knows the jewel in the crown is Gerrard after the Anfield skipper’s goal double won the FA Cup.

Moores said: “The progress we have made this season has been outstanding. I always felt we’d get much closer to Chelsea, but I don’t think I expected us to finish with 24 more points than last year.
