Steven Gerrard admits "time is running out" for him to claim his first Premier League title with his beloved Liverpool.
The Reds are currently languishing in seventh spot and trail leaders Chelsea by unbelievable 12 points.
Gerrard, with his 30th birthday coming up in May, told the club's website: "It would mean everything to win the Premier League. It's frustrating not to have it already - I've come close on a couple of occasions.
"And it is frustrating to be where we are in the league now because this was meant to be the year where we were going to be right up there all the way through.
"I've still got many more ambitions and dreams I want to fulfil before I finish playing.
"I have been around for 11 years and I am getting towards the 30-years-of-age mark, so I'm running out of time.
"I want to make the most of the next four or five years.
"It is important for us to try and get back up to the top of the table. I will continue to fight for the Premier League title from now until I stop playing.
"Hopefully, I can add it to my collection because it would round off a fantastic career. It would be extra special if I could do it as captain in the next couple of years.
"I am not sure how long I am going to be skipper for, probably another two or three years. And if I don't do it as the captain then, hopefully, I can still lift it as a Liverpool player."
