Reds to battle on two fronts

Rafa Benitez is adamant Liverpool can battle it out on two fronts. This comes after the Reds surged into the semi-finals of the Europa League with an impressive 4-1 win over Benfica on Thursday. Afterwards, Benitez stressed that the fight for fourth in the EPL would continue and he is targeting success on both fronts. "We will try to win every game," he said. "We will try to do it against Fulham (in the EPL on Sunday) and try to get close to the top four. If we can get to the final and win the final we will be very pleased. We have two targets now and we will try to do both." Liverpool face Fernando Torres' former club Atletico Madrid in the semis, with the first leg in Spain on 22 April. They lie sixth in the EPL four points behind fourth placed Manchester City.
