Brendan Rodgers is taking inspiration from the Hillsborough families as Liverpool enter the final weeks of their title pursuit.

The Reds became clear title favourites after beating Manchester City last weekend, and that position only intensified when City were held to a draw by Sunderland in midweek.

The big hurdle appears to be next weekend's clash with Chelsea, who sit two points adrift, but first comes a trip to Norfolk tomorrow to take on Norwich.

It has been an emotional week for Liverpool, with the club and city marking the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy with a memorial service at Anfield on Tuesday.

This year's commemoration had a different feel to past services, with new inquests finally under way after more than two decades of campaigning by relatives of the victims.

Rodgers, who spoke at the service, said: "I've got an incredible bunch of players that work tirelessly every day.

"If ever I learned that it was this week with the memorial that took place. A wonderful service and the many people that inspired us that under the most stressful circumstances you can fight and use it as a determining factor to succeed."

Steven Gerrard's 10-year-old cousin, Jon-Paul Gilhooley, was the youngest of the 96 to lose their lives at Hillsborough, and the Liverpool captain was in tears at the end of the victory over City.

Gerrard gave a rousing speech to his team-mates in a huddle after the final whistle, and Rodgers said: "It was great that Stevie directly after the game was pulling the players together and saying it's about the next game.

"He's a wonderful ambassador for this club."
