Rafa keen to dish out Boro beating

Rafael Benitez sends out his Liverpool side against Middlesbrough tonight accepting that for his club to challenge for the Premier League next season, these are the games they have to win.

The Anfield clash with Gareth Southgate’s team comes straight after a dreadful display at Manchester City on Saturday, a frustrating goalless draw which did little to ensure Liverpool claim a Champions League spot for next season.
