Liverpool will be back challenging for the Premier League title next season after slipping off the pace this time round, manager Brendan Rodgers said on Thursday. The Northern Irishman took Liverpool to the verge of their first English title since 1990 last year before they faltered badly with the prize in sight, missing out to Manchester City. Now they find themselves in eighth-place, 17 points behind leaders Chelsea, and struggling to secure the top-four finish which would at least provide Champions League qualification. The sale of forward Luis Suarez to Barcelona and Daniel Sturridge's ongoing injury problems hit Liverpool hard while some of Rodgers' close-season signings have made slow starts.
