Harvey Elliott believes Liverpool have to become "selfish" and completely ignore rivals Arsenal and Manchester City
The Reds' destiny was wrenched from their own hands after they spurned a succession of chances
Arsenal are now the new leaders thanks to a vastly superior goal difference
Elliott has urged Liverpool to ignore the results of their two fellow championship contenders given their own "tough finish" to the campaign
Elliott
"We just need to be selfish with ourselves,"
"We can't be thinking about other teams and watching what they are doing and basing our games off them.
“We need to keep being selfish and keep getting three points on the board.
"We are in the best possible position to do it, we've got unbelievable fans behind us that will be backing us in each and every game until the end of the season.
“We have the team to do it, so who says we can't? We just need to keep going and keep taking it game by game, making sure we are recovered both physically and mentally and keep going.
“It will be a tough finish but we just need to keep going."
Elliott came off the bench to win the late penalty converted by Mohamed Salah that earned Liverpool a point at Old Trafford

“We had many opportunities,"
"Whether it was the final pass or the finish, it just wasn't there for us but unfortunately that's football.
“But the fight and desire to keep going until the final whistle was amazing. I think as a team, as a club with the fans as well backing us, in a stadium like this when it's not easy at all, it's a credit to everyone involved.
“We need to keep fighting because it's going to be a very tough run now and we need to keep going.
"I think the boys showed unbelievable fight and courage to come back, to stay level-headed, stay in the game and get the equaliser. A point is better than no points at all and we now need to reflect."
