Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists all the pressure is on title rivals Chelsea.
The Reds, who face Jose Mourinho's side on Sunday, need seven points from their last three games to guarantee a first league title since 1989-90.
Victory at Anfield would also end Chelsea's hopes.
"Everyone talks about pressure but that is Manchester City or Chelsea - when you spend that sort of money and expect to win the league," said Rodgers.
"I don't think there is pressure on ourselves, only what we have from within. Look at Tottenham - [when] you spend over £100m you'd expect to be challenging for the league.
"People talk about pressure but it's absolutely wonderful.
"I haven't slept better. It's why we work and whatever happens we'll have had a brilliant season.
"We will do the best we possibly can. At this moment, we have been absolutely outstanding.
Mourinho has suggested he will rest key players at Anfield, ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
The Portuguese refused to discuss his selection plans on Friday but Rodgers said he did not think Mourinho was playing mind games.
