A defiant Dirk Kuyt today refused to give up hope of lifting the Barclays Premier League title.
Manchester United remain three points clear with a game in hand after their 5-2 victory over Tottenham on Sunday.
However, Kuyt still feels Alex Ferguson's men face several stumbling blocks in their five remaining fixtures.
"We will keep fighting and putting the pressure on Manchester United," said Kuyt.
"It was a pity that we didn't beat Arsenal on Tuesday because I thought we played really well, only we made too many mistakes, but sometimes that happens.
"We have to move on now to what's in front of us. We will try to win our games and hopefully they will lose some points.
"I've seen some strange things happen. We could still do it."
Liverpool are the Premier League's leading goalscorers this season with 66 but Kuyt admitted he would gladly swap that statistic for top spot.
"To score the most goals is not the most important thing because we want to win the league," he said.
"At the end of the day we are only in second place so all we can do is win our remaining four games and then see what happens.
"You have to give everything you have as a team. We have a great team and we will fight to the end and see what happens come the last day of the season.
"They will need to slip up again to make it really interesting, but we just have to wait and see. We won't give up."
The Reds number 18 took his tally to 13 for the season when he hit two during the 3-1 win at the KC Stadium on Saturday.
It was a special day as Kuyt was making his 100th appearance in the top flight for the Reds.
"It was nice to score a couple of goals but the positive thing was we kept going and got the three points," he said.
"We didn't play very well but we got the result which was the most important thing."
