[LNB]'We are developing a sensational game and now all the pressure is on United. I believe they could fail and we are ready for that moment.' [LNB]Liverpool will now go top of the table if they win at Fulham on April 4, as they are playing 24 hours before Manchester United face Villa at Old Trafford. [LNB]'Our objective is to win all our league games between now and the end of the season. It is a difficult task but not impossible now our morale's improved so much,' added Spanish fullback Arbeloa. [LNB]'That triumph at Old Trafford really increased our desire to be the champions.' [LNB]Speaking about the Champions League quarter-final draw, he added: 'We didn't desire Chelsea and would have preferred not to have drawn an English rival. [LNB]'My dream was to play Bayern Munich or Barcelona. But I still insist we are the favourites. [LNB]'Since the arrival of Guus Hiddink, the Blues have improved. But Champions League games are different and we manage these kind of situations better. [LNB]'From our point of view, Rafa's new deal was very important. He may appear to be too serious for many people but that's not what the players think. [LNB]'He is a coach whose only desire is to obtain the maximum from everybody and, under him, I feel like I am the best player in Spain. [LNB]'We are happy he is staying because the news means continuity and generates calm and confidence as we go about our work.' [LNB]
