Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has warned his side that after their wins over Manchester United and Chelsea, all teams will now be looking for a reaction.
Liverpool's Spanish boss Rafa Benitez has warned his side against complacency. The Reds have moved three points clear at the top of the table after a quarter of the season, and believes that the teams they face in the upcoming games will be looking for them to stutter.
"It's a crucial week for us because we are, for the first time, at the top of the table. Everyone is looking for our reaction," Benitez told the club's official website.
"We are playing against two tough teams with good players and we have to concentrate only on the teams and the three points - nothing else.
"Beating Manchester United and Chelsea has shown the character of the team this year. I cannot hide this but that's it - we know how difficult it is to win titles and we have to keep going. If we want to stay at the top we need to win the next game," he continued.
"The team is playing well and has confidence, but as for anything else, well we just have to prepare for games."
Liverpool are the only side in the Premier League who remain unbeaten. They host Portsmouth on Wednesday evening.
