James Milner Says Liverpool Should 'Enjoy' Title Race Despite Pressure

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has urged his team-mates to enjoy the Premier League run-in despite the pressure they're under to deliver the club's first title since 1990.

The Reds were held to their second consecutive 1-1 draw on Monday at West Ham United, but Milner pragmatically reflected on the result.

He told the Reds' official website:

"It is like that in football. You have ups and downs in your career and you have ups and down within a season.

"It is about not getting too down and there is such a long way to go, it wouldn’t surprise me if the lead changes hands all the way to the end, but we have to be confident we can get the job done.
