Benitez focused on run-in

RAFAEL BENITEZ insists he is focused on Liverpool ending the season in style rather than on securing a new deal.

Victory tonight against West Ham in a dress rehearsal of the FA Cup final will see his side close the gap on second-placed Manchester United to three points in the Premiership.

Although the games are running out, Benitez is anxious to retain that winning mentality. The semi-final victory against champions-elect Chelsea at the weekend increased the feelgood factor around Anfield and Benitez is content with his lot.
