Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez says he will be active in the January transfer window to help revive the team's Premier League title challenge.
Benitez has refused to give up on the title despite seeing his side fall 10 points behind leaders Arsenal after being held 0-0 by Manchester City.
And he has revealed that new faces will be on their way to Anfield.
"We have some players, have some targets and we will try to sign the players we need," he said.
Earlier in the season, Benitez had a high-profile falling out with co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett over his plans for the transfer window, but this was later blamed on trans-Atlantic communication difficulties and seems to have calmed down.
"Maybe we will bring in one, maybe two, if everyone is fit you never know. We are working hard and are very close," Benitez added.
Benitez was frustrated that his side could not break down a resilient City defence, but took pride in the display of his side who now sit in fourth place behind Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea.
"We knew they were playing really well at home, but we had our chances and could have won," he said.
"In the last 15 minutes, we were on top of them. For me, we deserved to win."
And despite the 10-point gap between his side and Premier league leaders Arsenal, the Spaniard is confident they can go on and life the title.
"We are 10 points behind the top with a game in hand, but if we play like we did on Sunday we will win a lot of games," said Benitez.
"I don't look at the table too much because I am busy analysing every game. We have one more point and can beat anyone."
Liverpool's next Premier League game is at home to Wigan on 2 January.
