"The good thing now is that we can put the internationals to the back of our minds and just concentrate on the run-in," said the skipper.
"The last three weeks have been among the most enjoyable in my Liverpool career and we want to keep that momentum going.
"We know that it is going to be difficult at Craven Cottage. They are a team that deserves respect; just look at what they did against Manchester United.
"Maybe because they don't have as many internationals as us, they might be fresher. We know they will be up for it - they are chasing a European place, so there is something riding on this game for them."
