Rafa: not resting players

Rafa Benitez has admitted that he will not be resting any players ahead of Liverpool's triple header challenge with the Gunners in the Premiership and Champions League.

He said: "I will not be resting players ahead of the Champions League game at Arsenal.

"We have spoken all season about changes and rotation but we must field a strong team now to make sure we qualify for the Champions League.

"Fernando Torres played 50 minutes for Spain in midweek and did fine, he was up against Marco Materazzi and he had some problems. He was being kicked, but he is okay now.

"Maybe it was not the best preperation. But he was not only playing against Italy, he was playing against Materazzi. That was more difficult, he got a few kicks, but he will be ready.

"He has confidence and goes from strength to strength. He has enough confidence now to score in every game. He has the ability to score 30 goals now this season."
