Pressure piling on Reds

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard has admitted his side must earn their first win in the Premier League to relieve the pressure on the squad.

The Merseyside outfit find themselves in 18th place in the table, with just two points to their name after the first five games of the Premier League campaign. Having made such a slow start to the season under manager Brendan Rodgers, the pressure has been building at Anfield for results to start coming quickly. Liverpool, who you can back using your free bet, are next in action on Saturday when they make the trip to Carrow Road to face fellow strugglers Norwich City. Gerrard knows that the Reds must bag all three points this weekend if they want to kick-start their season. He said: "We have a run of games coming up now where there are points we should be taking but the longer it (not winning) goes on the more difficult it is going to get so it is important against Norwich we take maximum points. "I think what we need to do is keep playing like we have done and hopefully we'll get the rub of the green, get referee's decisions in our favour and we will go on and take maximum points."
