Liverpool winger Ryan Babel is determined to find a regular place in manager Rafa Benitez's plans.

"I know what I have to do and I will continue to work hard and try and be a regular in the first team," Babel told liverpoolfc.tv.

"I like the competition for places as it's good for your development when you have to fight for your place.

"I'm still 22 and I have a long career ahead of me. I know I am good enough and I will try and get a regular place in the starting XI."
