"I’m on a high," he said. "Things are going really well for the club.
"The last performance for England I was under pressure to perform and I was happy with my performance. I thought I delivered that. I’ve missed a few (games) but I’ve found my form really quickly after my hamstring injury and I’m full of confidence."
Gerrard insists the focus is now fully on England and the title race will be on the backburner.
"We’re with England now, the club games have to wait and we’re focused on a friendly win on Saturday and three important points on Wednesday to stay top of the group," he said.
"There have been plenty of times I’ve joined up with England on the back of defeats and it’s not nice for the first few days – once they are out the way it’s everyone pulling together getting the right results for the country.
"It’s been a hectic few weeks, even though the results have been good and they’ve been exciting times. Hopefully that momentum will continue when we get back.
"There are big games coming up for Liverpool but we’re focused on getting important results for the country first."
Ukraine is the important match of the two – with England looking to maintain their 100% record in qualifying – but Gerrard expects a test against Slovakia, who boast one of his Liverpool club-mates in their ranks.
He said: "It will be a test and it will be good preparation for us. Martin Skrtel is my team- mate and he is getting better all the time, I’m sure he will be a world-class player in the future.
"There has been a bit of banter with Martin, but he’s quiet despite being vocal and very tough on the pitch.
"If his team-mates are as good as him we are in for a really tough game.
"They are coming to Wembley so they will be up for it and we’ll show them respect."
David Beckham could set a new caps record for an outfield player if he features on Saturday - and Gerrard hopes he too will have a long-lasting international career.
"It’s a phenomenal record and I’d love to see him break the record," Gerrard said.
"Hopefully I can stay in the set-up for a long time. I’m happy with my 70, I’ve missed a few through injury and hopefully I can get a few more in the future."
It’s only a starting position and I do feel I can be dangerous there."
