Kuyt grabbed his seventh goal of the season in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Bolton, where captain Steven Gerrard also took his tally to seven.
“We are still in touch at the top, but we just look to the next game and making sure we take the points,” added the Holland international.
“Every game is difficult and every team can make things hard for us. You only have to look at the teams who come to Anfield and then defend deep all game.
“That has happened several times, and I am sure that Fulham next weekend will do the same. That will be another difficult game.”
Kuyt had enjoyed a return to form having endured a testing time in last season after being shifted to an unfamiliar wide position on the right.
“I am still enjoying playing wide on the right, it means I am in the team. It is going well and we are winning games with this system,” he added.
“It does not matter to me whether I am playing on the right of midfield or up front. The most important thing is to win the games and score goals. it is going well.”
Midfielder Javier Mascherano, prior to joining up with the Argentina squad for their friendly with Scotland in Glasgow, underlined the determination at Anfield.
He said: “All the players are giving everything for us and that is very important.
“This is why the team is playing so well at the moment, it is because of our teamwork which has been fantastic.”
But manager Rafael Benitez is still concerned by the amount of clear opportunities Liverpool are squandering, including four at the Reebok from Robbie Keane, Fernando Torres, Gerrard and Lucas Leiva that could have sealed the win earlier.
“At least we are creating chances; if you do not do that then you are worried,” said the Spaniard.
“But now we must improve our finishing. We are practising, but it depends on a lot of things you cannot control.
“Keeping ourselves up at the top is important for us, and for our fans who were not happy with the way we went out of the Carling Cup last week (to Tottenham).
“Now we have put that defeat behind us and kept ourselves in the race at the top.”
