As far as Liverpool is concerned, their title hopes this season is not over, much to the many things said about this, but after five consecutive league victories, the Reds' confidence is currently at an all time high, what with after beating Inter Milan, arguably one of Europe's top sides home and away. What a way to pick themselves up after losing to Barnsley in the FA Cup. At least that is what Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez believe. The Reds are currently fourth place with eight points behind leaders Manchester United and Arsenal, with Man Utd coming up this weekend and Arsenal coming up in April, sandwiched between 2 Champions Leageu fixtures. Benitez said "How near we finish to the top now will be interesting, we have been criticised this season, but let us see where we are in three or four weeks. We have important games and if we win them we will be a lot closer. If we can beat Manchester United we will be closer to the top, and that will give us more confidence. If we beat Everton after that we will be closer still. Maybe, maybe we can be closer if we don't talk too much about it." Realistically, the next four weeks will be one of the most stressful weeks for the Reds, with Man Utd looming and Everton to follow at home before the big 3 consecutive games with Arsenal.
