Ray Wilkins fully expects Liverpool to give 100 per cent to try and beat Chelsea on Sunday.
The Blues currently lead Manchester United by just one point with two games remaining and any slip-up could cost them the title.
A home clash with Wigan awaits on the final day of the season but Chelsea must first negotiate a difficult trip to Anfield.
Wayne Rooney has called on Liverpool to do United a favour, but the bitter rivalry between the two North West clubs has created discussion about whether the Reds would be happy to beat Chelsea.
Chelsea assistant manager Wilkins is paying no attention to the conspiracy theories as he knows Liverpool are completely professional and will be desperate to take three points.
"It's a massive, massive game for us on Sunday and Rooney is quite right, he would want Liverpool to do Manchester United a real favour," said Wilkins.
"Liverpool will put themselves out and they have to do that as professional people, we expect no favours from them whatsoever."
"The game on Sunday will be and should be a humdinger.
"Even if Liverpool were to beat us and offer the championship to Manchester United, that's what they have to do, that's their job, that's their work. They have to try 100 per cent to do that."
