		</div><p>Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool must win their three remaining Premier League games to have a chance of claiming a first domestic title since 1990.</p>
<p>Leaders Liverpool achieved their longest winning streak since April 2014 with Sunday’s 2-0 success at Cardiff making it nine victories on the trot.</p>
<p>The result also saw Liverpool set a new club points record in the Premier League – taking them on to 88 and eclipsing the 86 Rafael Benitez’s side managed 10 years ago in finishing runners-up to Manchester United.</p>

<p>But Manchester City will take a one-point advantage by winning their game in hand on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Asked if Liverpool needed to win all their remaining games, Van Dijk replied: <em>“One hundred per cent. That’s the only thing we are going to focus on.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have three games left and we are going to try and win all of them. It’s going to be very hard, but that’s what we’re looking to do.</em></p>
<p><em>“We did our job (at Cardiff). We had to stay patient, but it was a very mature performance and it was good to get the three points.</em></p>
<p><em>“Our next challenge is going to be on Friday, so we’ll see.”</em></p>
<p>Liverpool start their closing fixtures with an Anfield visit from relegated Huddersfield.</p>
<p>Jurgen Klopp’s side then head to Newcastle before hosting Wolves on the final day of the season.</p>

<p>City play Leicester at home and have away games at Brighton, Burnley and Manchester United, the derby at Old Trafford on Wednesday being their game in hand.</p>
<p>Struggling United must seek to bounce back from a 4-0 thrashing at Everton on Sunday, their sixth defeat in eight games.</p>
<p><em>“They need to do themselves a favour,”</em> Van Dijk said when asked if United could help out Liverpool.</p>
<p><em>“Everton is not easy to beat at home, but 4-0 is a big result.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have no influence on that, but they are still playing for Champions League football and they need to get a result.”</em></p>
<p>Cardiff remain in the final relegation spot and three points adrift of Brighton, who have a game in hand.</p>
<p>But Brighton have failed to score in their last six games and have a tough run-in with fixtures against Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham.</p>
<p><em>“I definitely think we can get out of it,”</em> said Cardiff defender Lee Peltier.</p>
<p><em>“We’re putting in decent performances so hopefully we can pick up more points.</em></p>
<p><em>“We’ve got Crystal Palace and Fulham to look forward to and I think we can go there and get points.</em></p>
<p><em>“The manager was pleased with the way we set up against one of the best teams in the world.</em></p>
<p><em>“I thought we did all right against them as we limited them a lot. We’ve just got to keep on going.”</em></p>
