Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp does not think the Reds will ever win the Premier League title under Rafael Benitez.The Reds are a massive 19 points behind league leaders Arsenal - and face a real battle with Merseyside neighbours Everton for fourth place.

Liverpool got a point from a dour 0-0 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday - and Redknapp feels Benitez will always place the Champions League above league glory on his list of priorities.

He said: "I don't think Liverpool can win it (the league) under Rafa Benitez. I think they are further away than they have ever been before. They have got no chance.

"For Rafa Benitez, the kudos is winning the Champions League. That's his priority, everything is geared to that. Liverpool under Rafa can beat anyone on their day. But over the course of a league season they struggle."

He added: "I really thought that this could be their year.

"But the rotation - they make so many changes and you don't get consistency or understanding. The best managers like Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson keep basically the same team and system. In their big games, they field their strongest team.

"When Crouch and Torres play up front, they look as if they can make it work. They get one or two games together, but then Benitez changes it."
