(Reuters) - Six wins away from a first English championship in almost quarter of a century, the pressure is growing on Liverpool, whose manager Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the way they are handling it.

The Merseysiders, five-times European Cup winners, have not claimed the domestic title since 1990 but maximum points from their final half-dozen matches, starting at West Ham United on Sunday, would end that dispiriting run.
