Rafael Benitez still expects Manchester United to slip up after Liverpool's gap-closing 3-0 win over Newcastle last weekend and hopes his rivals crumble under the pressure of four crucial games in 12 days.
 Liverpool cut United's lead to three points on Sunday with their seventh victory in an eight-match unbeaten league run which has seen them score 26 times. It is a run of defiance and belief that has probably surprised Manchester United.
 Now, in contrast to United's hectic schedule, Liverpool have three games to finish their season comfortably spread over three weeks.  Benitez protected Fernando Torres' hamstring by resting him completely against Newcastle. And he is confident the Spaniard will be back to face West Ham on Saturday evening and then the final two games at West Brom on May 16 and at home to Tottenham on the final Sunday of the campaign.  .  .so it's safe to say Rafa expects a resounding win against West Ham. With no UCL to worry about, his team are fully focused on winning the league trophy.
 With only 3 points behind United, and leading on GD, the race is very close indeed.

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has spoken of his motivation to lead the club into the Europa League in his debut season at Upton Park.  .  .so he is determined to win all the games he's got left to ensure that dream happens.
 West Ham lost their last game away to Stoke after a less than satisfactory performance.  .  .unless a miracle happens, it's very likely that Liverpool already have 3 points.

Rafa must field his best team including Alonso. I'm hoping he will be fit to play. The entire need to be at their very best once again.
We need to win this game and watch scummie drop points .

I hope Zola won't play with a negative approach like he did in the 1st leg.

Y. N. W. A!

we got all 2 loose if we drop points so i expect them to play hungrily, we never can tell the scummies can still drop points under pressure. benitez, no gamblesss plss

let zola play negative football, if we go with the force we went out against teams in the last coupla games, their defence will crumble in matter of minutes.

The Pools are a goal up just after a minute into the game. Stevie G after a defence splitting pass from, guess who, El Nino.
Terrible defending

West Ham 0- L'pool 1

Tjhe ref gives a penalty to The Pools right after denying WH a clear freekick in a dangerous area.
Rob Green saves from Steve G's penalty but palms directly right his path. Steve G rebounds into the net.

WH 0 -L'pool 2.

Di Michelle is a stupid arse.
One on one with the keeper after a mistake from Jamie Carragher but the idiot falls over himself.
He also bagged a yellow card for "diving".

Babel makes it 3 from the rebound.
Game over.

Up L'pool

I love these Reds! West Ham made it tough for us shaa!

We deserve this title.
Who ever Stevie and El Nino could form such a dangerous partnership?
Robbie Keane just messed up everything.

tocdee:

I love these Reds! West Ham made it tough for us shaa!

did you say tough? how? you had 5 chances and you scored 3 of them.
WH had only one which the stupid Di Michelles messed up.  They were rubbish today.

I can smell a trophy snatch from the defending champions.

Rafa can continue his rants. Man u just flogged man city 2 kondo. I dont se how man u wont grab 4 points out of the remaining league games so the cup is man u's for the winning.

Who be that Man U wey dey talk where Liverpool dey talk. Two meets two defeats to the club with the most dreaded attack in Europe. LIVERPOOL is the only club to have humiliated the so-called "champions" home and away this season. So Man U sharraaaaapp! Pray we don't meet u again then MAN U might be spelt out in full.

Thank your body spirit and soul say you no face liverpool for Champion's league. You would have been much easier than Chelsea. Your dream of a final would have been long forgotten. I refuse to walk alone
