We’re Still Confident About Top Four, Liverpool Defender Nathaniel Clyne Claims

Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne has explained that his side are confident about finishing the season in the top four. 

The Reds, who lost 1-0 to Manchester United last weekend, are currently ninth in the Premier League with 31 points from 22 outings, eight adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

However, with the league being so tight this season, Clyne feels Liverpool just need a run of good results to dart up the table into the top four.

The right-back, who thinks the Merseyside giants are yet to reach their peak in the present campaign, went on to add that he is certain about his side qualifying for next season’s Champions League by stringing a few positive results together. 
 

“I still think it's tight and up for grabs”, Clyne told the club’s official site.

“[There are] a lot of teams in and around that area [and] if they go on a good run of form from now until the end of the season, they could pinch that spot.

“We're fully confident if we could go on a run of games with lots of wins then we can get in there.

“I think we haven't hit a run of form yet and we're still looking to hit a run of form. Once we hit that, I'm sure we can get into that top four spot and nail it down and stay there.”

Liverpool, who beat Exeter City 3-0 in a FA Cup replay on Wednesday, are next up against Norwich City later in the day at Carrow Road.

The Reds drew the corresponding fixture 1-1 in September after Russell Martin cancelled out Danny Ings’ opener at Anfield.
