Lucas Leiva, Liverpool midfielder, hoped for a perfect finish to the season for the Reds in a bid to claim a Premier League top-four position in order to secure a Champions League ticket.
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp's charges his team, who travel to Watford on Monday night, that sit third in the table going into the game at Vicarage Road, level on points with fourth-placed Manchester City and one point ahead of Manchester United in fifth.
"All the teams have a chance and we know we have to win games to finish there," Lucas told Sky Sports News.
"That's the pressure we have at the moment but we have just have to do our best to win our next four games, and if we do that the chances are we'll finish in the top four. But you never know.
"We know how big the Champions League is, especially for this club. We had a very good year last year playing in European games and it's always important to help attract players, keep developing this squad and everything around us.
"There's something special [going on at the club] I'd say. The group of players we have and the manager knows what it takes to win. We've seen how much we've improved in the last 18 months as a team and as a club. Everyone is a lot more positive because he arrived here and gave us that extra energy."
