Do or die now, admits Rafa

It’s make or break for Liverpool on Wednesday when they take on Tottenham. Spurs are riding high in this season’s EPL and currently lie in fourth place, four points ahead of the Reds. Both teams are desperate to secure Champions League football next season. "We all know how important it is for us to win," admitted Benitez on Tuesday. "There's a big difference between being one point behind and seven. If Tottenham win, it will give them a buzz and a lift. They'll have confidence. But if we beat them we'll be in a good position.” A win for Spurs will also strengthen the positions of Aston Villa and Manchester City, the two other teams who are also in the race for a Champions League place. "So we will win and not consider the other options. We're confident,” added Benitez.
