Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has insisted that his side are fully focussed on their remaining league fixtures, despite the trauma endured during their Champions League semi-final defeat to Chelsea.
With Manchester City the guests at Anfield today, the Spaniard is eager to give the Liverpool support a fond farewell by taking the maximum rewards on offer.
Liverpool have undergone an indignant campaign, with muted on-field performances exacerbated by off-field ownership wrangles.
However, the manager is aware that focus must be maintained and six points from the remaining six available is a priority.
Liverpool wind-up their season with a trip to White Hart Lane and Benitez is keen to see Spurs defeated in their last home game.
Whether the Liverpool players can match their managers enthusiasm for inconsequential league games remains to be seen but Benitez is eager to put the Chelsea disappointment to the back of his mind and move forward.
He said: "We were all really disappointed at going out of the Champions League in the semi-final because we were very close, but now we must think about the future because we still have two more games to play and I would like to win both of them.
"It is always important to win every game and I will try to do that and we will also try to play good football. The target is clear – to take six points out of six."
