Rafa Benitez has challenged
Liverpool to win every game in the club's bid to catch Manchester
United in the title race.
Liverpool fell five points behind United in midweek after the
reigning champions beat Fulham 3-0 in their remaining game in
hand.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes the Premier League
title is now a straight fight between his club and arch-rivals
Liverpool.
Ferguson wants his team to boast a 100 per cent record for the
rest of the season and it is a gauntlet that Benitez has also
thrown down to his squad.
"Clearly we don't want to lose points, so we will try to win
every single game," said Benitez on the club's official
website.
"You never know what is going to happen. You can lose points one
day and then a few weeks later the other teams lose points as
well.
"We just have to keep going, think about the next game and
winning three points, and that's it."
Liverpool face Manchester City on Sunday after a fortnight
without a game and Benitez feels the break has come at a good time
for his players.
He added: "The rest was good for us. We had been playing too
many games in a row and so it was important for the players to rest
and enjoy some time with their families.
"We need to be ready for the important weeks ahead.
"We know the City game is massive for us and that's why we have
to concentrate totally on it and prepare properly.
"City are scoring goals, but also conceding some, so clearly
they are a dangerous team. They have good players with the likes of
Robinho and Bellamy, so offensively we have to be aware."
