Fabio Aurelio insists that Liverpool still have enough chances to overtake Man United in the remainder of the season.

The Red Devils' conquering run in the beginning of the year has enabled them the overhaul Liverpool to take first place on the BPL table, with bookmakers singling them out as favourites to retain the title.

But the Liverpool leftback says that it's only a matter of time before Sir Alex Ferguson's men hit a bad patch.

"I don't think they will get positive results right until the end of the season, plus we've also got to go to Old Trafford. So, if we keep getting our points we'll have a chance to beat them," Aurelio said in an interview. "Every game is a final now if we want to fight for the title at the end. If United don't lose then they'll finish a few points ahead, but we still have to make sure we do our part."

Liverpool are having a wonderful season in their own right, above the likes of old adversaries Chelsea and Arsenal, as only a couple of points separate them from the summit of the Premier League table.

Rafael Benitez's men are also challenging in Europe, as the Reds face Real Madrid in their last-16 clash in the Champions League.

However, Aurelio knows where Liverpool's priorities lie.

"We know the most important thing for Liverpool and for us players is the Premier League," added the defender. "We also know the Champions League is an exciting competition and we have a good game against Real Madrid. If we can win that and keep involved as long as possible that would be great because Liverpool always do well in that competition, but we know this season the focus is on the Premier League."

Aurelio has had experience in helping teams conquer long-standing droughts, having played for Valencia in 2002 and aiding Los Che to their first Primera Liga title in over 30 years.

"It was amazing, especially because Valencia wasn't a big club like Liverpool are," Aurelio said. "No one expected us to beat Barcelona or Real Madrid because we were always a long way behind."

Liverpool's barren run in the league will span 19 years if they fail to win the BPL this season, but Aurelio is adamant that Anfield will receive a new trophy this May.

"Liverpool also haven't won it for a long time, but we are getting stronger every season and hopefully this can be our year," concluded the Brazilian.
