Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish believes club can bridge gap with Manchester United next season
curry sauce!
Kenny Dalglish and Sir Alex Ferguson, like their clubs, rarely stand in unison on or off the pitch, but the Liverpool and Manchester United managers are in accord over the latters assessment that the Anfield side will mount a sustained Premier League title challenge next season.

Dalglish and his team face the unpalatable prospect of travelling to Arsenal on Sunday knowing that their first win against Arsène Wengers side in a decade would all but hand a record 19th league championship to Old Trafford, finally allowing Ferguson to achieve his long-stated aim of knocking Liverpool off their perch.
Yet both Scots believe Merseysides involvement in the destiny of next years title will be significantly less tangential. Dalglish accepts that there is much work to be done to restore Liverpool to a position from which they can regularly challenge Uniteds supremacy, but when Fergusons suggestion that both ends of the M62 will be in contention for honours next season was put to him, the 60 year-old simply quipped: Told you he was a nice man.
Fergies not often wrong, is he? said Dalglish. How close are we? You would need to ask Fergie that. For us it is a work in progress.
There is nothing we can do about [United winning a 19th title]. It will hurt the players and fans if we lose at Arsenal, too. We cannot concern ourselves with how others are doing. If they have set the bar high, then we have to get to that level.
It has surprised me, as it has surprised everyone in football, that Liverpool have not won a title since 1990. But we have at least managed to add [to the clubs] five European Cups. That is a little bit of history for us to hang on to.
