Rafa Lays Down the Law

Liverpool gaffer, Rafa Benitez has told the lads that they should be counting sheep instead of watching the Hatton (who is a mate of Steven Gerrard and Jaime Carragher) vs. Mayweather fight this weekend.

"I have told them it is really important to rest, especially where we are playing late away and then away again soon after," said Benitez. "I hope the players will not be staying up to watch the fight, because we need rest when we play games close together."

The fight takes place in Las Vegas and will be shown at 4a.m British time.
