Dirk Kuyt believes Liverpool are well placed to go on to secure Europa League glory this season.
The Dutch star feels the competition represents a very realistic opportunity for Roy Hodgson's men and is now focused on looking forward to Friday's draw for the knockout stage.
Kuyt said: "We have a couple of targets and obviously we like to win trophies.
"I think we have a very good chance to win this trophy.
"It's good to be top of the group, and we'll wait and see who our next opponent is."
Kuyt made his 50th European appearance for the Reds when he came on as a late substitute in the 0-0 draw against his old club, Utrecht.
The No.18 was delighted with the reception he received from the visiting support and acknowledged that Hodgson had made the right decision not to play him from the start.
"That's great," he said. "The supporters from Utrecht were unbelievable, just like the Liverpool supporters.
"After seven years, to play against them and get a crowd like this it's unbelievable and showed a lot of respect, and I'm very thankful for that."
He added: "We play a lot of important games this month so he (Hodgson) has to make his choices.
"Obviously (the Premier League match against Fulham on) Saturday is another very important game for us so he decided to rest me."
