He knows leaders Manchester United will be champions for the third season in succession if they take a point from their home game with Arsenal on Saturday.[LNB]Liverpool do not play again until Sunday's lunchtime trip to West Bromwich Albion – and by then it is expected that their only objective will be to claim four points from their final two games to at least secure the runners-up spot for only the third time in 18 seasons.

It's so clear we are an attacking team and a very good attacking team.[LNB]"I think it is always important to score goals, but to score 119 last year and now more than 100 is very good. It's not just the strikers as we have a lot of players who have scored for us.[LNB]"That is very good and it means the team have a very good offensive mentality and we still keep the balance and defend well. That is important for winning."[LNB]Benitez said: "United are a strong team and have a good team. They have a good squad which is important because when you are talking about the league you are talking about nine months.[LNB]"But you cannot imagine if Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres had been fit all season where we would be now. It has been a good season but we know it could be better."[LNB]Liverpool expect to have midfielder Xabi Alonso back following his ankle injury for the match at West Brom, who will be virtually condemned to the drop if they fail to win.
