Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his side's defeat to Crystal Palace earlier this month should serve as a warning not to underestimate Swansea City when they visit Anfield on Sunday.
Klopp's side welcome the Swans eight days on from their impressive 4-1 victory at title-chasing Manchester City, which preceded a hard-fought 2-1 win over Bordeaux in the Europa League.
Liverpool will be fancied to maintain their push up the Premier League against a Swansea side with one win from their last nine and have had captain Jordan Henderson back in training this week.
The 2-1 defeat to Palace at Anfield on November 8, however, remains fresh in Klopp's memory.
"I don't know who will win the league and I don't care about this, I don't think about this in this moment," the German said on Friday.
"It's only important to concentrate on your own situation and how you can make your own progress. That's what we think about - if it would help to think about the end of the season, I would do it, but I know it does nothing.
"We have to be in the game from the first second, it's a big challenge as we saw against Crystal Palace. But if we take Crystal Palace as the last warning, then it was important for us.
"If everybody is prepared for a big fight, it will be a good game."
