"It will be interesting, if they can consolidate the top four or five, where the pressure is off there, they can prioritise the Champions League, and I think a fully fit Liverpool squad can go the distance. Listen, Van Dijk, I've been for many years. I think obviously Salah's form this season hasn't been the same as last season, but I think he is capable of turning it on."
"Liverpool have got the players and the pedigree as it goes on to get better and stronger, in my opinion. And then if they start prioritising it because they've already sorted the league position out for next year, Liverpool can be dangerous in it."
Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool's Champions League prospects depend on achieving a top-five Premier League position promptly. After dropping to sixth following their loss to Wolverhampton, the Reds face urgency in domestic competition. Gerrard argues that consolidating a secure league position will allow Liverpool to shift focus entirely to European competition. With a fully fit squad including Van Dijk and Salah, Liverpool possesses the quality to compete at the highest level. Once domestic security is established, the club can prioritize the Champions League and become a genuine threat in the competition.
