Dirk Kuyt expects Liverpool Football Club to challenge for the title this season.

A 2-0 defeat at Chelsea condemned the Reds to their third Premier League defeat in the opening eight matches, but Kuyt still believes they can mount a bid for the title.

"It is a very tough league, it is a very long season and there are still chances for Liverpool,” the Dutch international forward told the official Fifa website.

"We have to keep coming as a team and concentrate on our own game and winning every upcoming game. I'm sure in a month or in a couple of months that we will be there.”
