Voronin ready to fire

Andrei Voronin has dedicated his goal in midweek to his newborn child whilst Rafa Benitez has praised his versatility: "He can do different roles for his team and I appreciate that because he has game intelligence and quality."

Voronin said: "Mother and child are fit and healthy. I am delighted and I hope to dedicate a goal to him this weekend. "I had a hand in four or maybe five goals on Tuesday, but I really would have liked to have scored because I wanted a goal for him. Unfortunately I wasn't able to realise this ambition, but it was still lovely to take part in this game."

However, despite four-goal Liverpool victories in both of Fulham's last two visits to Anfield, Voronin does not expect another mauling on Saturday.

He explained to Liverpool's website: "We need to gain three points, we don't have to win 8-0 every week. It did feel like the floodgates opened on Tuesday, but Besiktas aren't here now, they've gone home. "On Saturday we will be up against an English team, so it will be a different type of game."

"Of course it's pleasurable to play in an 8-0 win, but we still have two big games remaining in the Champions League and now we have to look to a very important league game against Fulham. "We must win against Fulham. We have not played as well as we should have done recently and it is important we go into the international break on a high.

"We do not want to allow our rivals to go any further ahead in the table. We want to be at the top of the league and need to get as many points as quickly as possible."
