Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana says the players know how important victory over Middlesbrough is tomorrow.

Lallana insists a pre-match call to arms isn't required. He believes both players and supporters alike know exactly what's required.

“Of course there's pressure but there have been a lot of high pressure games this season where we've really stepped up to the mark," he said.

"Arsenal at home on the back of losing at Leicester and Tottenham at home after losing to Hull. There was big pressure and the lads responded with two big performances.

“There was huge pressure at West Ham last weekend, especially after the other results the day before. But what I liked was that there was a real calmness around the group. We showed great professionalism with the way we approached it.

"There was the right balance in terms of being up for the game but not getting carried away and I've felt the same this week. We know the job this weekend and we trust ourselves to do it."
