Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says it's crucial they don't allow this season to peter out.

Henderson, ahead of today's clash with Arsenal, admits they have no trophies to go for.

But in his match programme notes, the midfielder reasoned: "If there is one thing we have become accustomed to at the end of the season in recent years it has been having fixtures with a lot riding on them.

“There will be no semi-finals or finals this time around and no potential title deciders, but no-one should make the mistake of thinking that we do not have much to play for. This is Liverpool Football Club and every game matters here, no matter what the targets might be.

“Unlike Arsenal, we will have no involvement in the title race this time around and that hurts, but this does not mean we can feel sorry for ourselves. Our objective now is simple: to keep going right until the end of the season and to do everything in our power to rediscover the form and consistency that has been lost.

“If we do that, our hopes of finishing as high in the table as possible will undoubtedly improve, even though we're a bit off the pace now, and it will also give us something to build on next season."
