Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admits a missing Carlos Tevez is good for them ahead of tomorrow's clash at Manchester City.

However, Benitez believes Roberto Mancini's charges have enough quality at their disposal to still pose a significant threat should the 19-goal striker miss out.

He said: "I don't know if he will be available, but clearly he is a good player who is doing well.

"But they have other good strikers, so I think they have enough quality in the squad and can replace Tevez with another good player.

"If Tevez is not there and they miss him we will be pleased, but I will say again, they have quality."
