Liverpool sent out a huge statement to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal over the last 14 days but Rafiael Benitez is still disapointed that we didn’t score more goals!

We now sit just 1 point behind United and 2 better on our goal difference (compared to 11 better for United back at the beginning of March). It’s because of the demolitions of Aston Villa and Manchester United that Liverpool now surely have the momentum to take the Premier league title back to Anfield.

Watch Rafa talking to the BBC after the demolition of Aston Villa at the weekend.

Steven Gerrard is keeping his feet on the ground and admits that Manchester United are still favourites;

“Now we must keep winning, keep on their shoulder and keep piling on the pressure. We must show we are ready to pounce on any mistakes they make.”

Because of the international matches coming up there is a few weeks to wait until the Premiership battle can commence but Benitez and the whole Liverpool team are confident on chasing this all the way to the wire;

“We need to wait now for United to make mistakes. We are closer but they are in a very good position. We must keep going and keep pushing them.”

“They will see we are working hard for every game, so my message is to keep doing our job.

“When you are playing well, the players have more confidence. Sometimes you do not need to change things, we have more or less the same players and system.

“But it is now one game a week. Fernando Torres is fit, Gerrard is fit, Fabio Aurelio is fit so it is easier to keep the same players on the pitch.

“We may have injury problems caused by the international break, but we have Daniel Agger back from injury and Yossi Benayoun almost fit. That gives us more choice but we will need all of our players now.”
