The Reds face on form Blackburn at Ewood Park today and must also travel to St James Park and host Man Utd at Anfield before Christmas. They must get something from these games if they're to stay in the title race says Rafael Benitez.

"It's so important to keep in touch right now. I have talked to the players and I told them that it is clear these games are really important," said the manager.

"I have explained how it is really vital to keep close to the top of the table right now because we have some key players injured, and when we get players back it will be much easier for me.

"It is a big test, especially because these are difficult away games. But we have had big tests before. And the idea is that it'll be the same until the end of the season."
