Liverpool boss Benitez wants eight from eight

Rafael Benitez wants his Liverpool side to win the remaining eight Premier League matches in a bid to bridge the gap on league leaders Manchester United and take the title.

The Reds are just a point behind United now but have one less game to play.

"As far as the title chase is concerned, we just have to keep doing our job, we must not be concerned about United's results and how they are playing," Benitez said.

"If United do make mistakes, we must be ready, and that means carrying on doing what we are doing and winning points.

"We are playing well and they will see that we are playing well and trying to win every game.

"We have eight games left and every one must be won and be treated as a cup final.

"Certainly we must maintain this momentum and, when we are playing well, it just increases confidence.

"We now have an international break so the players must come back from that, re-group and start playing again just as we are at the moment."
