We want to put a dent in Chelsea celebrations - Liverpool's Lallana

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is aiming to put a dampener on Chelsea's title celebrations as the Reds prepare to travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The clash in west London is a must-win game for Liverpool's diminishing hopes of a top-four finish and Lallana is determined to get one over the Premier League champions as they fight for a Champions League berth.

"Chelsea deserve to be champions. The table doesn't lie. They have been the best team throughout the season." said Lallana.

"You have to respect that, whether you like it or not.

"All I know is we want to go there and spoil the party. We're looking to go there and cause an upset and put a dent in their celebrations.

"We all knew that last week was a big week and it was disappointing to only get four points out of the games against West Brom, Hull and QPR.

"We would have been right on their toes, if not ahead of United, if we had performed better. But we still have a chance and everyone believes fourth place is still possible.

"We have to concentrate on ourselves and look to take maximum points from our three remaining matches."

The Merseysiders sit in fifth spot in the league, four points behind Manchester United who will travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
