Rafa Benitez today warned his Liverpool players they must focus on winning one game at a time to maintain their challenge at the top of the Premier League. The Reds take on Wigan Athletic at Anfield tomorrow after a two-week international break.
  
They are looking to keep up their impressive unbeaten start to the season, but the Liverpool boss is refusing to get carried away and looked to his charges to take the another vital three points.
  
"We must concentrate in this game and that is it," said Benitez.
  
"It's important to think about the next three points and see what happens from there.
  
"These games after the international break are always very dangerous and everybody knows we have to win.
  
"We know that we are at the top of the table and in a good position, and we want to stay there. But we must concentrate and take it one game at a time because if you talk about the other games in the future then you will lose your concentration.
  
"We know that Wigan are playing well at the moment.
  
"They are physically strong, but they are also playing good football, so as always in the Premier League, we know it will be a tough match.
  
"At the moment I believe we have enough quality to match Wigan, and we will think about the other games after that."
  
Besides being without Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel for the clash agains the Latics, Benitez will also make a late check on the fitness of Javier Mascherano and Lucas Leiva, who are due back at Melwood on Friday afternoon after international duty with Argentina and Brazil respectively. [/td][/tr]
