Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has a simple mantra that he hopes will guide the Reds to the Premier League title this season - if something is not broken it does not need fixing.

The 23-year-old played his part in the 2-1 win at West Ham on Sunday that took Brendan Rodgers's side back to the top of the table as captain Steven Gerrard converted a penalty in both halves to see off the Hammers.

Now Henderson just wants the team to keep up with their recent performance which has seen them string together an impressive nine consecutive wins. Fellow title contenders Manchester City visit Anfield on Sunday.

"We are really high on confidence," he said.

"We have just got to keep working and training. We need to keep working hard and, as the cliche goes, then just take each game as it comes and keep doing what we are doing. We need to keep going out there and putting on good performances."

The potentially pivotal victory in east London came despite neither of Liverpool's in-form forwards finding the back of the net.

Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have 49 league goals between them this season but Henderson believes the rest of the Liverpool squad is capable of stepping up.

When asked if the win was a sign of good team-work, the England international replied: "Yes it was. We have all been working really hard as a team all season.

"We have been working really, really well - Luis did brilliantly for the first goal and for the second one, Lucas puts a great ball in for (Jon) Flanagan.

"Overall we have to be delighted with the three points and our performance. We could have had a few more to be fair but, on the other hand, we dealt with the set-plays and the aerial threat really well throughout the game."

Liverpool are currently two points above Chelsea who still have to visit Anfield before the end of the season.

If they were to win all their remaining fixtures, they will claim their first league title since 1990.
