Lyon coach Claude Puel has assured Liverpool they will be doing their all to beat Fiorentina, despite already securing qualifcation.
Liverpool's hopes of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League is out of their hands after Lisandro Lopez's dramatic late goal denied the English side all three points in France on Wednesday night.
Rafa Benitez's men need results to go their way if they are to have any chance of progressing as a win for Fiorentina against Lyon next time out would dump the Merseysiders out of the competition.
However, Puel has vowed Lyon will do their best to help Liverpool's cause by trying to beat Fiorentina in Florence later this month.
"We will play fair, we want to win the group and avoid getting a tougher draw in the next stage," said Puel.
"Liverpool have no need to fear what may happen.
"We will play to win the game and that will leave the situation in Liverpool's hands to win their last two games and go through themselves."
