FA Cup more important

Liverpool face Arsenal at Anfield in both the FA Cup and Carling Cup this week. Although both teams will be doing their utmost to win both games, Rafa Benitez admits the FA Cup game is the more important.

"It's clear that of the two competitions, the FA Cup is more important," said the Spaniard.

"I won't be saying what my team will be, but you know we take this competition very seriously and would like to do as well as we did last season.

"Arsenal will feel the same, and I'm sure the team they play tomorrow will also be different to the one they play on Tuesday."
