Liverpool boss Benitez to keep Keane benched

Liverpool assistant boss Sammy Lee says manager Rafa Benitez won't flinch if he needs to axe Robbie Keane again for today's trip to Arsenal.

Lee said: "Rafa is fully aware of everything that is said about his team selections.

"But he knows what is best for the club. He knows what is best for the team and he knows what formation will be best to get a result out of a game.

"For me, all the manager does is pick the best team for any given game, whether it is Real Madrid or if it's Arsenal.

"It is about adaptation. We haven't had Fernando for a few weeks so we have to have a plan B and plan C. We have to be flexible up to a point."
