Benayoun demands focus

Liverpool's Israeli midfielder has called his team mates to focus as the side get ready for an enslaught on the Champions League and Premiership fourth spot to secure Champions League qualification for next season.

"We have a good advantage because we have more points and a better goal difference," he told the club's official website. "But there are still 12 points to be played for, so we have to make sure we do not lose concentration.

“If we do Everton could close the gap. It is obviously important for the club to finish as high up the league as possible. We want to play in the Champions League because it is a competition we enjoy.”
