Steven Gerrard ready to go to any extremes to win League title with Liverpool this season

England captain Steven Gerrard believes that this season presents him with the best chance yet to finally win the Premier League title with Liverpool.

The midfielder has won the UEFA Champions League in 2005 with the Merseyside club and has every major honor on his CV apart from the League title.

Liverpool have enjoyed a good start to the season riding on the back of Luis Suarez‘s brilliant form and travel to Stoke City on Sunday just six points behind table toppers Arsenal. Gerrard, who has spent his entire career at Anfield, admits he would go to extreme lengths to secure his first title and believes it would even top winning the Champions League in 2005.

“If someone said to me now ‘cover half your body in tattoos and you’ll win the Premier League’ I’d do it tomorrow,” he said.

“This is probably my best chance to surprise this country and countries throughout the world to maybe nick the Premier League.

“Sitting here in the middle of January I have a fantastic chance of having a right good crack and getting involved in a title race. I’ve finished second on a couple of occasions but we’ve never come really close.

“If we perform like we have done over the last couple of months we can get involved in the title race so that is very exciting.

“It scares me in a way because I don’t know how I’d handle myself.

“When I won the Champions League (in 2005) the week after that talk about being on cloud nine or over the moon – all the cliches – it was better than that.

“If I could add a Premier League title to my collection it would mean the world to me, it would probably be the best day of my life besides my kids being born.

“I think it would top the Champions League because it is the one I haven’t got.”

The Liverpool captain though concedes that returning to the Champions League, a competition which Liverpool haven’t been part of since 2009, remains first priority.

“I’d take fourth now.” he said.

“We have been out of the Champions League for so long to have that chance to play a couple of qualifiers against sides you should beat – I’d snap your hand off but I am confident we can finish higher. The manager mentions the Champions League, he sets us aims and challenges and of course Champions League is the talk around the place all the time – but that was the case when we didn’t qualify for it.”

“For the players it is the ultimate competition to be involved in and you want to compete against the best. All the lads who are a lot younger than me at this club need to play and sample it.”
