The Blues will be
assured of a place in the top four if they pick up a victory against the
newly-crowned Premier League champions, who no longer have anything left to
play for after missing out on the all-time points record.
Liverpool won their
first title in 30 years with seven games to spare, and currently sit 18 points
clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
Chelsea could end up
finishing the season with a place in the Champions League and a trophy in the
form of the FA Cup, and Mount insists they will be looking to build on that
platform and dethrone the Reds next season.
The 21-year-old told
the Blues’ official website:
“For a team to be as
dominant as they have been this season, it definitely gives you that motivation
next season to match them.
“We have played them
three times this season and we have definitely been competitive with them, and
when you watch something like the trophy lift, it gives you that extra
motivation going into next season.
“I am a winner so I
don’t like watching other people win, especially other teams. You want to win
with your own team so it is definitely hard to watch someone else win but they
have been brilliant this season and worthy winners.
“When you watch
something like that it gives you that extra motivation to want to win and that
is something we want to keep doing and finish off this season in the top four
and hopefully win a trophy, and then focus on next season and really try to
push to win.”
