The Reds have a significantly easier run towards the end of the season than some of the other teams competing for fourth, with only one match in their next eight against a top four rival in Tottenham.
Rodgers admits that closing such a big gap will be difficult, but not quite as impossible as it might seem.
"We have nine now stretched to 12 points difference but we can do it, there is no question about that," the 40-year-old said. "It is a lot of points to make up but we will fight and accept the challenge in front of us.
"We have had a lot of tough games and we have a lot of what we would consider our big rivals for those Champions League positions to play at home.
"Our form at home is getting better, we are scoring goals and are defensively strong so we sense a real opportunity. I believe if we continue to play how we have been and retain that focus and mentality we have a terrific chance. It is going to be very tough but it is not something which is impossible."
