Rodgers rules Liverpool out of title race

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has ruled his side out of the title race but is confident they can have an impact.

A 1-1 draw at West Brom on Sunday left the Reds eight points behind leaders Arsenal, who visit Anfield at the weekend.

Liverpool’s main priority is staving off the challenge of Everton and Tottenham, one and two points behind, respectively, to retain their current fourth place.
