"We've got five games left", the midfielder told the club’s official site. "It's not one – it's five."

"We've got to take each one as it comes and it is City – it is a big game but so are the other four.
"I've said all along that we must take each game as it comes and obviously the next one is Man City and we must approach that like we have been all season.
"We've got to put on a good performance and get the three points.”
The 23-year-old stressed that Liverpool need to follow the same routine of having a positive style of play and working hard on the training ground, which has made the team so successful on the field this season.
"We've got to concentrate, keep our focus and keep approaching games like we have been.
"We are high on confidence. But we continue to work hard on the training ground and in games. That's the most important thing.”
