Steven Gerrard has trained his sights on Liverpool reclaiming their league titles record from Manchester United.

The red half of Manchester are in jubilant mood as victory over Chelsea on Sunday moved them to within a solitary point of their 19th league title. The win will take them ahead of Liverpool and there are likely to be glum faces if as seems certain, United get over the line.

Liverpool captain Gerrard has admitted it will hurt to see United take the record but feels the green shoots of recovery are in evidence at Anfield and is targeting a push for league glory next season.

"It hurts because we held the record for so long," Gerrard said. "Give credit where it's due, they've overtaken us for the time being.

"But we are on our way back up and we won't give up the fight to overtake them again - don't worry about that. That is the motivation.

"We can still boast about the European Cups, of course, but everyone here will be doing everything we can to get the league record back."
