Liverpool veteran Jamie Carragher is adamant his side will continue to fight as they look to regain a top-four position.

The Merseyside team have only managed to register four wins in their last ten outings as they fell to sixth in the Premier League.

Tottenham are the visitors to Anfield on Monday night and defender Carragher is determined his side will set the record straight.

Spurs beat Kenny Dalglish's men 4-0 in the pair's first meeting of the season with Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel both dismissed but Carragher recognises the threat posed by Harry Redknapp's talented side.

"Spurs have probably been the most impressive team in the league for me this season," he told the club's official website.

Impressive

"I know they aren't top but they're great to watch. They play great football, very fast paced and they certainly showed that against us at White Hart Lane. That was our biggest defeat of the season and something we want to rectify.

"They also won at Anfield towards the end of last season. That's probably in the mind as much as anything. We realise we're playing against one of the best teams in the league and it's going to be very difficult.

"But we have proved in the last two home games, against the two teams above Tottenham, that we're more than a match for anyone in the country."

Former England international Carragher, who will make his 685th appearance for the club on Monday, believes his side are determined to keep fighting all the way as they aim to get back into the top four.

Fighting

"At times we've been in there, at times we've been out of it," he added. "We've just got to stay within touching distance and focus on ourselves.

"We've got Chelsea at home towards the end of the season and hopefully that game will prove to be vital.

"Some people thought there might be a come down in the performance at Wolves after the games against the Manchester clubs.

"But the lads came out fighting against a team fighting for their lives and it was a great performance."
