Gerrard closing in on form return
Steven Gerrard believes he is close to returning to prime form after hitting Liverpools opener in their 2-0 Champions League win over PSV Eindhoven.
The Liverpool captain struck from 18 yards in the second half before Peter Crouch wrapped up a victory which ensured the Reds will finish top of Group C.
Gerrard told Sky Sports: "Ive been a bit frustrated in front of goal of late so it was nice to see one go in. But the main thing was to get the three points and top the group. Of late Ive been working hard in training, trying to get my form back. Its not altogether there but I can feel it coming."
Gerrard lined up in central midfield and enjoyed the role having spent much of the season to date on the right.
"That goes without saying, its my favourite position and where I like to play," he added.
"But Ive got to do a job for the team - Im the captain of the team."
Liverpool won the competition two seasons ago and Gerrard was delighted they will top their group.
But he warned: "It doesnt mean you will automatically get a weaker team. We get the second leg at home now, so thats a big plus."
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admitted his night was tainted by injuries to Xabi Alonso, Mark Gonzalez and Jermaine Pennant.
"The first injury to Xabi was a big problem for us, (being already) without Momo Sissoko especially. Then Mark Gonzalez and Pennant went too," he told Sky Sports Xtra.
"The players worked really hard after that. Xabi had a leg injury which could be serious, Gonzalez felt something, hamstring maybe, which could be more serious and Pennant had a spasm which is not serious."
Benitez took heart from Gerrards strike. "I was really pleased to see Steve scoring again, it could be a boost for his confidence," said Benitez.
"He likes to play there, today it was a difficult game without Xabi and we needed to see how it went with Bolo (Zenden) who didnt have a warm-up." -

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy should be in the squad even though he is involved in a court case in Cardiff.
They are without Xabi Alonso and Mark Gonzalez (hamstring), while Stephen Warnock (groin) misses out and Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) is doubtful.
Manchester City's Dietmar Hamann has recovered from a thigh injury, though he will probably be on the bench.
Trevor Sinclair (knee) and DaMarcus Beasley (ankle) are out and Sun Jihai is troubled by a hamstring injury.
LIVERPOOL against Manchester City is a mid table match-up between two clubs both brilliant at home and wretched away. They have each collected 14 more points on their own territory than they have on opposition turf.
Already through to the knock out stages, the Merseysiders finished top of their Champions League group with a 2-0 home victory over PSV on Wednesday, and all but two of their 18 League points have also been picked up at Anfield. They've won their last two and are unbeaten in 22 home Premiership matches
Peter CROUCH is Liverpool's top scorer with nine goals.
MANCHESTER CITY travel the 38 miles to Anfield looking to add to their measly single point on the road and register their first away victory of this Premiership season, breaking Liverpool's unbeaten home record in the process.
City go into this game on the back of last Saturday's 3-1 victory over Fulham when Bernardo Corradi scored a brace in a contest that was virtually over by half time. City have recorded only one Premiership victory over Liverpool at Anfield from their nine visits. Nicolas Anelka scored both goals, one from the spot, in a 1-2 triumph on 3 May 2003.
Joey BARTON and Georgios SAMARAS are City's top scorers with three goals each.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Riise, Luis Garcia, Pennant, Gerrard, Zenden, Bellamy, Crouch, Kuyt, Fowler, Dudek, Guthrie, Hammill, Peltier.
Man City (from): Weaver, Isaksson, Hart, Richards, Onuoha, Dunne, Distin, M Mills, Thatcher, Jordan, Johnson, Vassell, Barton, Reyna, Hamann, Samaras, Corradi, Dickov, Sturridge.
