Liverpool kept up the pressure on Man United with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Blackburn that had Rafael Benitez smiling.Benitez was able to rest two-goal hero Fernando Torres and midfielder Xabi Alonso.
He hopes the win will send a message to United.
"Hopefully Manchester United will make a mistake. You never know. The pressure is all on them," he told Sky Sports.
Torres had scored twice before the break against Rovers before late goals from Daniel Agger and David N'Gog completed a humiliating afternoon for Sam Allardyce's visitors.
Benitez was able to leave skipper Steven Gerrard on the bench throughout as the England international nurses a groin injury which could curtail his involvement over the closing stages of the season.
The Spaniard added: "We needed to play well and score goals and we didn't concede against a team good in the air so it's a very, very positive result.
"I'm pleased we scored four goals and we were able to rest Gerrard and change some players towards the end.
"In the first half and the second half we had two or three very clear chances so we could have scored even more."
