Liverpool may not be out of the running in the Premier League title, according to Reds boss Rafael Benitez.
Five consecutive league victories have strengthened Liverpool’s grip on fourth place andalthough they are eight points behind leaders Manchester United and Arsenal, they have still to play them both.
“How near we finish to the top now will be interesting,” Benitez told the club’s Web site. “We have been criticised this season, but let us see where we are in three or four weeks.
“We have important games and if we win them we will be a lot closer. If we can beat Manchester United we will be closer to the top, and that will give us more confidence.
“If we beat Everton after that we will be closer still. Maybe, maybe we can be closer if we don’t talk too much about it.”
