Gerrard wants to repay fans

Liverpool can complete a season unbeaten at home when they host Tottenham on Sunday – and captain Steven Gerrard believes it is the perfect opportunity to repay the fans.

The Reds have not gone a whole campaign without defeat at Anfield for 21 years but if they avoid losing to Spurs it will be the 10th time in their history they have achieved the feat.

“I think the supporters deserve it. They have given us terrific support once again over the course of the season,” he said.

“We have not got much to play for really but every time you put the Liverpool jersey on in front of your home supporters, the least they deserve is effort.

“And if we go into it with that attitude, we can finish on a high with three points.”
