Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool are well-equipped to handle a gruelling run-in.
Tuesday’s Champions League last eight visit of Porto begins another potentially season-defining week for the Reds both in Europe and on the home front.
Last year’s finalists are favourites to progress to the semi-final as they aim to go also go the distance with Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
With five games to go, the Anfield club currently top the table, having played one match more than Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures.
City travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday before Liverpool entertain Chelsea in a identical schedule to the last time the pair slugged it out for the title, in 2014.
But Klopp sees no reason why his players cannot last the distance as they attempt to fight for a first title since 1990 in addition to the Champions League.
He said: “To be in the situation we are in, we had to win all the games pretty much. We are used to this, but it doesn’t make the job easier.
“I cannot go into a meeting and say, ‘OK boys, we are in a position where we have to win all the games.’ It doesn’t work like that.
“We have to be spot on, recover between the games, prepare the boys and let them go again.
“It’s such a good time. It’s warm outside, spring is coming and we are in two big competitions. It’s fine. We have to use the situation.
“We have not finished the season, we have not finished our development. We want to write a few proper things in our book this season.
“We are on fire. In training you can see we are really in a good moment, but other teams are as well. We all play for a lot.
“You will see tomorrow night that Porto really wants to go through. It will be a tough one, but that’s how it should be.”
