Henderson: We won't lose our focus
Jordan Henderson insists Liverpool's preparations for Sunday's mouth-watering clash with Manchester City will be no different to their usual routine.
The Reds will go into the Anfield clash four points ahead of Manuel Pellegrini's side having played two games more.
It's sure to be an occasion to savour in front of the Kop, but Henderson is adamant Liverpool won't lose focus.
"We've got five games left," said the midfielder. "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.
"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.
"No matter what circumstances you are in the game, if you keep working then your just rewards will come. That's what happened at West Ham. We controlled the game really well, especially second half."
Anfield is expected to generate an electric atmosphere against City - and Henderson reiterated the belief that fans have a role to play over the final five games.
He added: "The crowd have been fantastic throughout.
"They've been really, really good, supporting us the whole way. We've got to put on a good performance for them.
"We've got to work really hard like we have been and hopefully get the three points."
