We must not blow it again, says Benayoun

Yossi Benayoun says Liverpool's disappointing run means they cannot afford to drop any points against Chelsea.

The team have drawn seven of their last 10 Premier League matches to put a big dent in hopes of the club winning a first title since 1990.

Victory on Sunday, says Benayoun, would get his side's title challenge back on track, returning them to second place, which they lost to Luiz Felipe Scolari's side after drawing 11 at Wigan on Wednesday.

"Every game is important. We have to take three points against Chelsea just like we should have done against Wigan," said the Liverpool midfielder.

"Chelsea are now in second place on goal difference so we need at least to go second. If we win we still have a chance to win the league. We have to do our best against them. "

Liverpool were guilty against Wigan of not making the most of their dominance --a trait which has cost them dear in recent weeks.

But Benayoun feels the club have players with the necessary quality to put things right at Anfield.

"We have big players like Stevie Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres," he said. "I'm sure that we will turn things around and start winning games soon. We have the quality to do that."
