Rafa calls on players to retain title belief

RAFAEL BENITEZ has urged his Liverpool players not to lose their belief ahead of another vital Premier League clash away to West Ham today.

Victory for the Reds at Upton Park will put them back on top of the table on goal difference, at least for 24 hours until leaders Manchester United face Manchester City at Old Trafford tomorrow.

But however hard Liverpool have chased the champions in these closing weeks of the campaign, the slip-ups they crave have just not materialised.
