Rafael Benitez believes the understanding between Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard will be key to Liverpool's trophy hopes.
The duo plundered over 50 goals between them last season as they formed a frontline that was likened to the legendary Rush-Dalglish partnership.
It is a link the Reds boss believes can get better and better and he is hopeful they could both line-up for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Marseille.
"Last season it was clear to see that the understanding between Torres and Gerrard was really good and there have been signs this year that it is getting better," said Rafa.
"Torres is back again after being injured and we hope that Gerrard will be fit enough to face Marseille.
"As a manager I don't like to single out players. But Gerrard and Torres have scored something like 54 goals between them since they began playing together, so it is clear that they are both very important to us."
