Tension is high for the planned Premier League match between Liverpool and
the Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
Both teams have to win this match.
Liverpool is just one point off the Champions League places following
their victory over the Spurs last week.
On the flip side, Bolton boss Owen Coyle began his League reign with the
Trotters with two defeats against Arsenal, and the team definitely needs points
to move away from the bottom three.
Steven Gerrard told his Liverpool mates that they need to make the most of
Saturday's game against the Boltons.
He believes that good times are in store for the team, despite injuries to
key players, questions over financial stability of the club and seven Premier
League defeats this season.
"We will keep fighting for that fourth spot," he said. "We've got a couple of
home games coming up and, if we take maximum points, I'm sure we'll edge into
that top four."
