Steven Gerrard insists Liverpool will not give up in the race for the Premier League title.

The Reds can move back to the top of the table on goal difference with victory over West Ham United on Saturday evening.

Their leadership may only be temporary as United - who play Manchester City on Sunday lunchtime - will have two games in hand.

However, despite the Old Trafford club being in the box seat, skipper Gerrard insists the Reds will continue fighting for the title until it is mathematically impossible to catch their rivals.

"We will keep going until the end. We won't surrender when we're so close," he said.

"Winning the title with this club would mean the world to me.

"We have got world-class players, we have turned in some fantastic displays of attacking football and some really solid defensive performances.

"We have got absolutely everything you need to be successful at the very highest level.

"We have got players making an impact from the start and boys coming off the bench and affecting the game.

"I have got to pay tribute to the manager (Rafael Benitez) because it is difficult for him picking only 11 players for the starting line-up.

"Keeping the lads on the bench, and those who have missed out on the squad, in the frame of mind to make a significant contribution is a difficult task, but Rafa's been able to do that this season.

"That is not an easy balancing act but he manages it brilliantly."
