Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has rubbished a report suggesting he said his side were not good enough to win the title.

A story on Friday claimed Benitez was unsure of Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League and that they could only win England's top prize if Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal all messed up.

Benitez has moved quickly to reject the talk by saying the report has been twisted.

"We are really pleased because we are top and I can guarantee that if we are still top of the table after Christmas we will have a clear chance of winning the title," insisted Benitez.

"It was an interview with a French journalist and we were talking about tactics. I was really surprised with the story but everyone in Liverpool knows about this newspaper.

"We are at the top of the table because we are doing things better than the others. It is up to us and that is it."
