Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has conceded Tuesday night's 4-4 draw at home to Arsenal puts Manchester United in the "driving seat" in the race for the Barclays Premier League title. Andrey Arshavin scored all four of the Gunners' goals in a remarkable night at Anfield in which the hosts came from behind three times, the last goal coming two minutes into added time.

Benitez believes there are still plenty of twists left in the championship race, despite United only being behind Liverpool on goal difference with two matches in hand - the first at home to Portsmouth.

"United are in the driving seat and we will see what happens," he said. “If they win it will be more difficult but they have to win and they also have to play against Arsenal so we will see.

"We have a point against a good team and we are top. We have to keep pushing until the last game. It's football, you never know."

Skipper Steven Gerrard, who missed the game through injury, is refusing to concede defeat though and believes there are still twists and turns to happen before the title is decided.

"Ideally we wanted three points, so we see it as two points dropped but this point could be important," Gerrard told Sky Sports 1. "I still feel that there are going to be a few twists and turns, but we are relying on other people to do us favours. It was a tremendous game for the neutral but not for myself. I enjoyed it but obviously I wanted three points."

Gerrard admitted Liverpool were looking at seeing their title dreams derailed until Benayoun struck.

Asked if defeat would have ended their championship challenges, Gerrard said: "Yeah I would say so.

"You are talking about Manchester United they are a fantasic team and you look at their run-in, look to see where they are going to drop points.

"It would have been very, very difficult if we had lost the game, but I think that point could be big."

Meanwhile, Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has admitted he would love a return to the club he served so well as a player and a manager. Speculation at the weekend suggested the 58-year-old Scot was to be brought in to oversee youth development at the club.

And although Dalglish, who had a 14-year spell at Anfield before quitting as manager in 1991, said he had little knowledge of any possible approach, he stressed he would be happy to help out.

"I was as far removed from the weekend's speculation about me returning to a role at Liverpool Football Club as it was possible to be but that's not to say the Sunday paper stories and TV debate escaped me," he told LFC Magazine.

"All I can say at the moment is what I've said many times; if I can help Liverpool Football Club in any way, shape or form then I'm in. That's not a new revelation.

"If I can be of help to the club I love in any capacity then I'm more than happy to play any part that I can.

"If the manager (Rafael Benitez) or the people running the club think there's a role for me then I'll fill it happily.

"Similarly, if the club think the best thing for the club is for me to stay out of the way then I'm not going to take offence at that either.

"At the moment there's not much more that I can say other than that if and when there's anything to say to the supporters - the people who keep this club alive - then they will be the first to know."
