Pepe Reina insists that Liverpool will be giving their all to secure victory against Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday.
The Reds will be eager to end on a high as they play in front of their home fans for the last time this season.
But the Liverpool faithful will also be aware that a win could set arch-rivals Manchester United up to win the Premier League title.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side, who are searching for a fourth consecutive championship, would then be able to move clear of the Reds on 19 total titles if they were to successfully close the season out.
But Reina remains unconcerned by the potential implications of a Chelsea defeat and insists the squad is firmly focused on victory.
"They can think about what they want," said the Spanish goalkeeper.
"If you are a professional, you will never play to lose or draw in any game. It's just not us.
"We need a win at home for our supporters. I don't care about Manchester United. All I care about is us and making sure we get three points."
Liverpool just missed out on a Europa League final spot after losing out to Atletico Madrid on away goals on Thursday night.
Reina accepts that the players will find it tough to pick themselves back up after such a devastating result, but is adamant the players will be ready on Sunday.
"It's down to our own pride," the 27-year-old added.
"We will try to win, and if we don't, it will be because we're playing Chelsea, a tough team fighting for the championship.
"We're going into the game after a disappointing night playing 120 minutes. It won't be easy but we will try.
"I want to make sure we can fight for fourth place by getting those three points. We never play to lose."
