“We’re not thinking about Chelsea or anyone. We are only thinking about our own game and the things we want to achieve,” Mane said
.
“It is still early to talk about what is going to happen in May, but one of our ambitions is to go as far as possible.
“We have a great team with many qualities.”
Chelsea are also in action on Saturday, hosting Stoke City, and Liverpool have the opportunity to close the gap with victory over third-placed City.
“It’s an exciting place to be. We have a great team this season with great players -and a lot of young players coming into the team too,” said the Senegal international.
“There is a good feeling in the team and we want to do well and make our fans happy.
“We have a good record at Anfield and will look to continue that against Manchester City.”
