Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that every one of his side's remaining games is a "cup final".
The Reds, third in the Premier League table ahead of Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, face Manchester City in the Champions League last eight on Wednesday night.
German boss Klopp told reporters at a press conference that Liverpool must stay focused if they are to finish the season strongly.
"We have only finals from now on, for both sides pretty much," the manager said. "We play Palace and okay, maybe not a final but unbelievably important for both sides.
"City, Everton, unbelievably important because it's a derby. As we have said, you create the basis for the finish and the final third of the season. I think we are in a good position and we have to use it.
"Of course we have had some time to think about this over the last two weeks but it is pretty clear that we can only do it step-by-step."
Liverpool host City on Wednesday evening, before making the short trip to the Etihad in the reverse leg.
