Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet told his team
they had "three finals" left this season as they look
to seal a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp's men claimed an important 1-0 win
at Watford on Monday to consolidate third spot in
the table.
Liverpool (69 points, 35 games) are well adrift of
the top two, but remain ahead of Manchester City
(66, 34), United (65, 34) and Arsenal (60, 33).
With games against Southampton, West Ham and
Middlesbrough to finish the season, Mignolet said
the outings needed to be treated like do-or-die
matches.
"We're hungry to play in the Champions League.
We know what it means, not only for us, but also
for the fans of the club," he told UK newspapers.
"The history of this great club has been all about
fighting at the top end of the Premier League and
against the best teams in Europe.
"Everybody wants it so much and we're going to
keep fighting for it. We have three finals left to
play."
Liverpool's win at Watford – which came thanks to
a stunning bicycle kick from Emre Can – was their
third consecutive victory away from home.
It followed on from wins at Stoke City and West
Brom and Mignolet said: "I think we've played a lot
of good football this season.
"Sometimes you have to learn how to play against
these sorts of teams.
"To win at places like West Brom, Stoke and
Watford shows we can do this. We have three more
games like this to play.
"We have to keep that balance and grind those
results out."
