Liverpool fans have been singing their side’s praises all season on their unexpected march to a Premier League title challenge but some supporters went the extra mile.<\/p>\n

To wish their side luck ahead of Sunday’s clash with Norwich, some devoted Kopites draped banners at the club’s Melwood training ground.<\/p>\n

One huge banner reads: ‘Make Us Dream’, a sign that has been following the Reds round at home and away games for a number of months.<\/p>\n

Manager Brendan Rodgers put his side through their paces as they look to stretch their lead at the top of the table.<\/p>\n

However, despite the odds being in favour of his side defeating the relegation-troubled Canaries, Rodgers insisted there was still time for all the top sides to drop points.<\/p>\n

Manchester City suffered a massive blow to their title credentials by drawing 2-2 with Sunderland on Wednesday, and Rodgers believes it should be taken as a warning sign.<\/p>\n

‘I said to the players before we started training that if there was doubt about our rivals dropping points, then they should also take the midweek results as a warning sign,’ Rodgers said.<\/p>\n

‘It was a warning sign for everyone that, at this point of the season with four games to go, there is nothing guaranteed and I have said that all the way along.<\/p>\n

‘Crystal Palace had an excellent result and Sunderland were within minutes of getting a great victory. That was the biggest message I got. Yes, one of our rivals might have dropped points but that is irrelevant.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
