Kuyt has become a virtual ever present for the Reds since switching from centre-forward to right-midfield

Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt says he is eager for his side to sustain a challenge for the Premier League title.

The 28-year-old has scored in each of his last two appearances, including the decisive goal in the 3-2 win at Manchester City.

"We have big games every three days, and for us the main target is to win every game," the Dutch international told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"Hopefully we will be there in the title race at the end of the season."

The Reds are level on points with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.

Kuyt feels it is important his side have kept pace with the early favourites, as the league breaks for the second round of international matches this season.

"The win was really vital. Everyone is leaving now for their own countries to play for their national teams, " he added.

"It's a vital thing that we go home with a good feeling."
