Joe Allen is aiming to secure a first-team spot at Liverpool ahead of the Europa League final against Sevilla on Wednesday, May 18. Jayson Tatum Jersey . Allen has impressed when called upon by Jurgen Klopp, but has struggled to become a mainstay in the first team - starting only five of the last 11 games.With the final looming, we want to use every opportunity we get out there on the pitch to build momentum ahead of that game against Sevilla, he said. To be honest, any time you step out for this team, you are playing to prove you should be involved in the next game, whatever that game is.Of course, there is an added incentive in some ways when theres a final coming up. Allen and his Liverpool team-mates play host to Chelsea in the Premier League on Wednesday night, live on Sky Sports My personal mindset is that when I cross that white line, my focus is always on performing and helping the team to get the result, regardless of who were playing.Personally, I dont struggle to motivate myself.Liverpool have not won any silverware in four years and Allen insists he and his team-mates will be striving to make sure they can bring the drought to an end in Basel. When I had the chance to join this club, the ambition was to win silverware, added Allen.Ive come close so far. Now theres another opportunity to lift a trophy, and its an opportunity I cant wait for.Everyone connected with the club will give absolutely everything to try to ensure we bring that trophy home.Allen has been named in Wales squad for their training camp before the Euros but says he remains focused on the remaining games he has for Liverpool, and will only begin to look forward to the tournament once the club season is over.The Euros is something thats been there for lots of players to look forward to, Im no different, he said. Allen has won 25 international caps for Wales Its a great position to be in at the moment. There is so much to look forward to in terms of club football with the final coming up.And then once the end of the season comes, theres the international football to follow.Liverpool will be looking to finish their season with a flourish as they prepare play their penultimate game of the Premier League season on Wednesday night against Chelsea at Anfield, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.

SAN DIEGO -- It was a classic win by the punchless San Diego Padres. Everth Cabreras bunt single in the first inning was the only hit Wednesday by the Padres, who still beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 thanks to Francisco Lirianos wildness. "Thats Padres baseball right there," Cabrera said with a big grin. The Padres hit only two balls out of the infield: one that was caught by an outfielder and the other was a sacrifice fly that was caught by second baseman Josh Harrison in short right. "There are lot of ways to win a baseball game and that was one of them," said manager Bud Black, who has presided over two of the three victories in franchise history in which the Padres had only one hit. San Diego won 1-0 at San Francisco on April 20, 2010, when Jonathan Sanchez and Sergio Romo combined on a one-hitter. San Diego beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on July 19, 1975, when Steve Stone and Tom Dettore had a combined one-hitter. "You never know whats going to happen in a big league game," Black said. "Anytime you win its great, but when you win a game like that where you only get one knock, its a pretty good one. Feel good about it." The Padres played ultimate small-ball, scoring on a sacrifice fly, an error and a bases-loaded walk to avoid a three-game sweep. Rene Riveras fly to Andrew McCutcheon to end the eighth was the only ball fielded by a Pirates outfielder. "Nobody can beat us when we go 23 outs before the first one goes to the outfield," Black cracked. Carlos Quentin hit a sacrifice fly in the first, but it was caught in short right by Harrison. Ian Kennedy (5-6) won his third straight start, striking out seven and allowing two runs on five hits in six innings. He walked one. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 18th save in as many chances. Three Pirates pitchers issued nine walks, two intentional, and hit one batter. The Padres struck out 10 times. San Diego has only 12 hits in its last four games. "I dont think I have ever been a part of that situation where you lose a close game on one hit, albeit a bunt," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Although, they did have a bunch of baserunners." Liriano (1-6) walked six and struck out seven in five innings. Bob Cousy Jersey. He walked the bases loaded in the fourth inning and then walked Chris ;Denorfia to give the Padres a 3-1 lead. San Diego took a 2-0 lead in the first. Denorfia drew a leadoff walk, stole second and took third when Cabrera beat out a push bunt for a single. Quentin hit the sacrifice fly caught by Harrison. His throw home was well up the third-base line. After Chase Headley was hit by a pitch, Cabrera scored on Harrisons throwing error on Tommy Medicas grounder. "We had a runner on second base. We dont hit it that much," Cabrera said. "I had Carlos Quentin behind me and I was thinking, Put the ball in play. Push bunt and thats it. "The most important thing is that we won the game," Cabrera said. "It doesnt matter how." Said Liriano: "It just got a little confusing. He put it in the right spot, it was a good bunt. I wasnt expecting a bunt on a 3-2 count." Pittsburgh pulled to 2-1 on Andrew McCutcheons homer to left leading off the fourth, his sixth. The Pirates added another run in the fifth when Harrison doubled in Jordy Mercer, who was aboard on a leadoff single.
