Bellamy and Kuyt get run of games

Benitez is not shy to rotate his squad with Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso all finding themselves on the subsitutes' bench at one time or another this season. However, the Liverpool boss says Bellamy and Kuyt will be given games together as they look to build on a promising striking partnership.

"One is quick and the other is a good worker with good movement and their understanding is getting better, which is why I want to give these two more time," said Benitez.
