"It's clear that if you want to stay at the top of the table you must win nearly all of your games," said Benitez.
"We will try to do that even though we know it will be difficult. The type of games like we have this weekend are really important for the confidence of the team.
"If we can win here we will still be at the top of the table, everybody will be happy and we will be ready going into the next game.
"We have made a good start. Confidence is great - all the players are feeling like that, so we can play and win. But we must take one game at a time and not think too much about the future."
