We need help from others, admits Benitez

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez remains confident his side can secure Champions League qualification but accepts he is relying on their rivals making mistakes.

Sunday’s 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford – their 10th in the league this season – saw the Reds drop to sixth, four points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.

With Manchester City, in fifth, and seventh-placed Aston Villa both having two matches in hand Liverpool’s task is becoming increasingly difficult.
