Liverpool will handle ‘three cup finals’, says Houllier

GERARD HOULLIER believes his Liverpool stars have the strength of character to handle the “three cup finals” that could send them into the Champions League.

The Anfield manager has seen his team win six of their last seven Premiership games to force their way back into the frame for the world's most lucrative club competition.

On Saturday, they go to relegated West Brom probably without injury victim Emile Heskey knowing they dare not slip up in the battle with Chelsea and Newcastle for the two remaining places among next season's European elite alongside Arsenal and Manchester United.
