The Redmen continued
their march on the Premier League
crown with a thrilling 3-2 victory over title rivals Man City on
Sunday, a win which maintained their two point lead at the top
flight summit.
Brendan Rodgers’ side
know they need to win all four of their remaining fixtures to lift the club's
first league trophy in 24 years, though Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea are one of the teams in their way.
Liverpool’s meeting with
the second-placed Blues will be another test of the side’s title credentials,
but Gerrard insists the team must approach facing relegation-threatened Norwich
on Sunday in just the same way they would prepare for a crucial
championship-winning game.
"We have to treat
Norwich like we treated AC Milan in 2005," he said.
"We have to forget
what colour their kit is and the personnel wearing it and treat them as the
best players in the world.
"We have to forget
where we are and forget what we've done. We have to prepare for Norwich like
it's the last game of our careers.
"Every game is
going to get bigger and bigger because we are getting close to that last game
of the season.
"Of course Man City
was always going to be huge at Anfield because they are in the race with us but
Norwich now become Man City, Norwich now become Chelsea, Manchester United - that's how big it is.
"It is a tough week
preparing for these matches and everyone knows personally how much I want it.
"What is key as a
footballer is getting something to show for all the hard work - we could go and
win 13 in a row and lose the last one and we won't get anything, no one will
remember it.
"The only thing
people will remember is if we go on to achieve what we all want."
Gerrard was overcome
with emotion when the full-time whistle signalled their vital City victory, a
win the Liverpool skipper dedicated to the Hillsborough
victims and families ahead of the 25th anniversary of the disaster.
He added: "I think
it was just a release at the end of the City game. The reason I was so
emotional was because of when this game fell.
"It wasn't just
because it was a big match in our season, it was because this week is always
about more than football for everyone
associated with Liverpool. It's emotional for so many people.
"I'm speaking on
behalf of everyone when I say the win was dedicated to the victims and families
of Hillsborough.
"All the squad will
be present at the service to pay our respects as we should."
