Liverpool - Glen Johnson has said Liverpool will strive to end the season strongly despite their hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four being all-but extinguished.
The Reds suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at Hull on Tuesday that left them seven points behind Manchester United in the hunt for the fourth and final Champions League qualifying berth on offer to English clubs.
Realistically, that meant Liverpool's hopes of playing in Europe next season rest on finishing in a Europa League-qualifying spot.
