Fabio Aurelio has set his sights on maximum points over Christmas as Liverpool look to put pressure on the Barclays Premier League leaders.

The Reds entertain Fulham on Saturday before a trip to Blackpool and home games against Wolves and Bolton.

Roy Hodgson's side had a shaky start to their domestic campaign but have won their last four top-flight matches at Anfield.

And defender Aurelio said: 'It is very important we get a good result on Saturday, especially because we are playing at home. Hopefully we can start a run of great results and the team can get some wins together.

'We know Fulham are a tough team and we respect them, but we have to show them we are Liverpool, we are playing at home and need the three points. We have scored a lot of goals at Anfield recently and we need to keep doing that.

'We need to win every game we play at home in the Barclays Premier League but we also need to start getting some good results away from home.

'We hope we can get some good victories over Christmas and then we can start the new year in a much better position in the league.'

Brazilian Aurelio played 90 minutes as Liverpool drew 0-0 with Utrecht in the Europa League on Wednesday and the 31-year-old is now hoping for a run in the side.

'It was good to get the 90 minutes because I have been training hard but not playing regularly and I felt quite good,' he told Liverpoolfc.tv.

'It wasn't an easy game because a few of us haven't played regularly. There wasn't that many opportunities but it was good to play.

'I just want to keep playing now and help the team. There is competition in the squad and I hope I can get some more opportunities but it's up to the boss when he wants to put me back in the team.'
