Reds must quell cup derby frenzy says Benitez

Rafael Benitez has warned Liverpool must contain their anticipation over the Merseyside derby FA Cup tie which is sure to be the talk of their city all month – because there are important matches to be won in the meantime for his table-toppers.

Liverpool and Everton will clash twice in a week, in the Barclays Premier League on January 19 and then in the fourth round of the cup the following weekend.
