Dirk Kuyt and Jay Spearing insisted that they weren't giving up on a Europa League spot despite the loss to Spurs. Lucas Leiva seems to be having similar thoughts:
"We have to go there and try to win. I think Birmingham will try to get points from Tottenham and that helps with the way they'll approach the game. They have to get points or they could be relegated.
"At the end of the day it's not in our hands so we just have to do our job. Hopefully then something good will happen for us.
"Villa just beat Arsenal away which shows they are really committed. They have had difficult times this season but they have a good team, a good squad. They showed against Arsenal they can beat any team.
"Getting fifth would be very important for Liverpool. But we still believe we can finish well. You never know. I always try to be positive and think the best thing will happen to Liverpool.
"We have to go into the last game with the commitment we've shown lately."
"At the beginning of the season we were around the relegation zone," Lucas added.
"I don't think anyone was expecting us to finish fifth or sixth and that's a great comeback.
"It's an achievement but we are Liverpool and we want to finish higher than that. The Champions League is the biggest target for us but we just have to finish well and start next season with a really positive mentality and attitude and then we'll have a big chance of making our fans smile again."
