Liverpool looking no further than one game ahead as they continue to fight on four fronts.
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson says Liverpool cannot afford any slip ups if they are to wrestle the Premier League title from Manchester City.
The Reds are a point behind Man City with seven games left to play after the two sides drew 2-2 in a brilliant contest at the Etihad last week.
That left Man City still in control of the title race, but Robertson wants Liverpool to be ready to take advantage of any slip-ups.
"We just need to keep winning games," added Robertson.
"It's obviously out of our hands; if they (City) win all their games then it is their league but if they do drop points we need to be ready to pounce.
"The only way of doing that is by winning games, if we do that then let's see where we end up in May.
"The points tallies we've racked up in the last couple of years has been incredible but there can only be one winner so we need to keep fighting and see what happens.
"I think we have got a really tough run in, all games are tough in the Premier League especially when you get to the end bit.
"But we need to be at our best, we need to be better than we were (at City) and if we do that then let's see where we end up and hopefully we can win something. If not, we will give it our best shot.
"Time will tell. You never know. We need to win as many games as it takes to try to win the league, it's as simple as that.
"We wait to see what results happen, we need to keep dealing with each game as it comes."
Liverpool are still fighting on four fronts this season. As well as the Premier League, they are still in the frame to win the Champions league, the FA Cup and the League Cup.
That could make it a historic season, but Robertson says they are never looking any further ahead than their next game.
"Look, we literally just talk about the next game," he said.
"You can't look too far ahead, you think of the next game and that's Benfica then we move on from there. Definitely no chat like that (about a quadruple) in our changing room.
"We are already focused on Benfica now. We have a lead but we need to get through. We need to try to win that and then get into the semi-finals.
"If we do that then we focus on the next one. We are still fighting on all fronts, we still have a lot of games to play and if we win hopefully it ends with silverware."
