Gerrard: Reds gunning for trophy

CAPTAIN Steven Gerrard has warned their Europa League rivals not to underestimate Liverpool.

Despite what has been a disappointing season for the Reds so far, with early exits from the Champions League, FA Cup and Barclays Premier League title race, the England midfielder stressed they were not prepared to give up without a fight.

“It’s very dangerous to bet against Liverpool, especially when our backs are to the wall,” said the 29-year-old, who, along with Jamie Carragher, is one of only two remaining squad members who played in the 5-4 UEFA Cup final victory over Alaves nine years ago.
