Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez insists he will not look at the
whole table but instead concentrate on the mini-league including
his side, Tottenham and Bolton.
Liverpool will now come up against both Spurs and Bolton in the
space of two days in a critical New Year program that could decide
their season.
Benitez, who saw his side lose out 1-0 to Blackburn on Boxing Day,
must now concentrate on ensuring Liverpool finish in the top four
and clinch a UEFA Champions League place.
But the Spanish boss insists looking at the table would be a waste
of time and instead wants to focus on his side's recent good form
and keep them in a good position.
He told The Sun: "We won't look at the table. It's a waste of
time.
"We know we now have to play Tottenham and Bolton who are in a
league with us and very close together. We know how important it
will be to beat these teams and stay in a good position.
"But despite the result against Blackburn we've been playing well.
Sometimes these games happen, but we need to keep going and stay
confident.
"All away games in the Premiership are difficult."
