Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has turned up the heat on top four rivals Manchester City.

After victory over Benfica in the Europa League, Benitez is convinced Fernando Torres' performance will have rattled City boss Roberto Mancini.

The Kop boss said: "If Torres is fit, he can be very, very dangerous and he can score goals like he did against Benfica.

"Mancini watched our game and he will have seen that our team is strong. He will know they have to win their games.

"The pressure could be on them. If they lose they will be more under pressure.

"I think they will lose some points, so the main thing is we do our job. We have to win our games and if we can do this, I am confident we can be in the top four."
