Gerrard can’t wait for Rafa’s new signings

STEVEN GERRARD is promising boss Rafael Benitez will sign some new “special players” in the transfer window as Liverpool inch their way towards a club record for successive victories without conceding a goal.

Wednesday night’s 2-0 triumph at Sunderland took them to their highest position in the Premiership in Rafael Benitez’s 18-month reign as Anfield manager.

And as they prepare for tomorrow’s game with Wigan, Liverpool have now strung together five successive league wins and seven unbeaten matches in all competitions without conceding a goal.
