RAFAEL BENITEZ has been told he 'will find the answers' to Liverpool's alarming slump this season - by the manager of the club aiming to increase his misery tomorrow night.[LNB]Wigan boss Roberto Martinez still believes Liverpool will secure a top-four spot this season, despite their current run of form.[LNB]Sunday's defeat by Arsenal was Liverpool's sixth Premier League defeat of the season and leaves them five points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa.[LNB]In addition, the Merseyside giants have been eliminated from the Champions League and are not even seeded for Friday's Europa League draw.[LNB]Some pundits are openly speculating on Benitez's future, but Martinez - whose own side head to Anfield tomorrow - does not feel the situation is that bleak for his fellow Spaniard.[LNB]And, while Villa, Spurs and big-spending Manchester City currently have the edge on Benitez's men, Martinez does not believe it will last.[LNB]'I still feel Liverpool will finish in the top four,' he said. 'Look at their players. They have huge experience.[LNB]'You are not talking about young players or a young team. You are talking about Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina and Jamie Carragher.[LNB]'It is probably the most experienced group of players in world football. What is happening at the moment will not affect them.'
