Jurgen Klopp has banned talk of the Europa League final in the Liverpool dressing room ahead of Sunday's clash with Watford at Anfield.

The Reds' season hinges on their crunch showdown with Sevilla in Basel on May 18.

However, before then Liverpool have three Premier League matches to play and Klopp has demanded that they finish their domestic duties on a high.

The eighth placed Reds could still leapfrog Southampton and West Ham and clinch a top-six finish.

“It is absolutely not allowed to think of only the Europa League final between now and the 18th of May,” Klopp wrote in his programme notes for the visit of Watford.

“Starting today, we have three very important Premier League games and that has to be where our focus is.

“The line-ups may vary and change in these remaining games, but this isn’t because we think of the final; this is because we need to use our squad and use our players in a responsible way, for the needs of each and every game.

“So today our cup final is Watford here at Anfield. We will treat this with the same importance as any game we have played previously and any game we play subsequently, because it is our next game.

“This is the only attitude that will be allowed at Melwood and in our dressing room.”
