Liverpool are still in the title hunt, insists Rafa Benitez.

After their 2-2 draw with Birmingham City, Benitez refused to throw in the towel on his team's title chances, even though they are 11 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

He said: "We showed when we won six in a row early in the season what we can do. And we were under pressure when we beat Manchester United. The team is not playing badly."
