Maintaining the momentum is Cody Gakpo's aim as Liverpool prepare to enter another crucial week of fixtures.

The Reds solidified their spot at the top of the Premier League with a dominant 4-1 win at Brentford on Saturday and now face a swift turnaround as Luton Town arrive at Anfield in midweek.

Next weekend then sees Jürgen Klopp's side head to Wembley for a showdown with Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

"I think we have to keep the feeling what we have at the moment and just build on that," Gakpo told Liverpoolfc.com after the victory at Gtech Community Stadium.

"Obviously in midweek we have another really important game and then the weekend is also another really important one. I think only important games will come up now. We need everybody and we have to stay focused and fit."

Gakpo came off the bench at half-time at Brentford and completed the game's scoring by netting Liverpool's fourth in the 86th minute.

His finish followed up efforts from Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah as the visitors claimed a deserved set of three points.

On the match, Gakpo analysed: "Obviously it was a day with everything in it. I think [it was] a very good performance from the team.

"We really showed the good mentality we needed in this game but a few injuries, which is not good for us.

"Obviously a lot of games are coming up and we need everybody to be as fit as possible, so hopefully it will be alright but I don't know yet what's up with the boys.

"We did a lot of good things in the first half but they had a few chances. I think in the second half we just kept going and used our chances to kind of try to kill the game, and at the end we did it."
