Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez insists Manchester United do not have the title race wrapped up.

Benitez, whose side host Manchester City tomorrow, insisted: "When I speak of facts, one is that United are a very good team and I knew they could have a run of winning games in a row.

"They will win more than a lot of the other teams but to say we can't beat them? I don't think so.

"I can only talk of my team but I don't think they are untouchable. In football now every game is tough so anything can happen.

"We have reduced the gap very well and want to reduce it more. It will be difficult but if we're in the same position going to Old Trafford maybe that could be important."
