Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has stated that the players are desperate to give captain Steven Gerrard a winning home send-off against Crystal Palace this weekend.

Gerrard will be bidding farewell to the Anfield supporters when Liverpool square off against Palace this Sunday with the match being the 34-year old's final home game in a Reds' shirt before he departs for MLS club LA Galaxy.

The occasion will be an emotional one and Mignolet has revealed that the entire Liverpool squad is desperate to give their inspirational captain a winning Kop exit.

The Belgian told the Liverpool Echo: "We have the last home game of the season coming up against Palace and Steven's last game at Anfield. We want to ensure he goes out with a win and we want to give the fans three points.

"Stevie has done in the past two games what he's been doing here throughout his career - scoring very important goals at important moments. We have learned a lot this season, especially me, and we'll take that into next season."
