Gerrard admits Liverpool will be happy to finish in fourth place in the league this season.
Gerrard said: “A realistic target is to try to get back in the top four. Winning the title, of course, is a possibility because there’s a chance it can happen.
“But realistically, our focus is to finish in the top four.
“If we finish first, second or third, fantastic, great, and we certainly won’t give up on that, we’ll fight all the way to the end.
“But at the start of the season, you have targets and from a realistic point of view, after finishing seventh last season, our target was always to get back in the top four.”
