Liverpool must improve home form

Glen Johnson has admitted Liverpool must replicate their superb away form at Anfield.

England full-back Johnson was still basking in the sensational solo goal which helped sink former club Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and move the Reds within striking distance of a Champions League spot.

The 2-1 win put Liverpool level on 22 points with their opponents, Tottenham and Arsenal in arguably the most fiercely contested battle ever to qualify for Europe's premier club competition.

Throw third-placed Newcastle into the equation as well and there is little margin for error for any of the sides currently hanging onto the coat-tails of Manchester City and Manchester United.

Liverpool, who have failed to qualify for the Champions League for the past two seasons, are certainly doing the business on their travels, having now won five successive matches away from home in all competitions.
