BENITEZ: WE ARE GOING TO ARSENAL TO WIN

Rafa Benitez says Liverpool are going to Arsenal with nothing but thoughts of victory on their minds.

The Reds boss - though fully aware of the quality in the Gunners' ranks - believes his team have the ability to record an away win at the Emirates in tomorrow night's Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Having won eight of their last nine games, Liverpool go into the game high on confidence and Benitez is backing his players to deliver on the big European stage yet again.

He said: "We will be looking for a win. We know Arsenal are a very good team but we are playing well at the moment, creating chances and winning games, and we have confidence.

"When you play in games like this you want to win and to do that you have to score at least one goal so we will be looking to do that."

Liverpool have not won at Arsenal since February 2000 when a Titi Camara goal was the difference between the two sides.

But Benitez believes the fact that tomorrow night's clash comes in European competition makes it a very different game.

"It will be different because it is in Europe," he said. "That does not mean it will be easier or harder, just different.

"The away goals rule means teams have to approach games in a different way to the way they approach league games and that is something for us to bear in mind."
