Spearing: Let's wrap it up
Jay Spearing is targeting a repeat of Liverpool's scintillating Fulham showing as they aim to seal European qualification against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Spurs' 1-0 defeat at Manchester City on Tuesday night means the Reds will secure a fifth-place finish in the Barclays Premier League and entry into the Europa League should they defeat Harry Redknapp's side at Anfield this weekend.
Spearing knows Tottenham will present a difficult obstacle as they aim to preserve their European aspirations, but he's confident a similar performance to the one Liverpool turned in during Monday's 5-2 victory at Fulham will see them clinch three points.
"On their day they can turn it on if they want to," he said. "The amount of players they've got and the standard of players they've got means it's going to be a difficult game at Anfield.
"But we're the home team and if we play like we did against Fulham we'll put them under pressure.
"The game on Sunday is going to be massive. The Europa League is still a massive competition and Liverpool need to be attempting to win as much silverware as possible."
He added: "We're all fighting for places now and everyone wants to play well.
"We want to end the season on a high and we've got to chase Tottenham. We showed against Fulham what we're all about and we want to finish high.".
