Rafa Benitez insists that Liverpool are not feeling any pressure despite failing to recapture top spot in the Premier League.

The Reds were held at home for the fifth time this season, as local rivals Everton scored a late equaliser at Anfield on Monday evening.

The draw meant that Liverpool only moved level with Manchester United, but the Old Trafford giants remain top on goal difference and also now have a game in hand.

But Benitez insists there is no need to panic about Liverpool's failure to move back above United.

"We are not feeling the pressure, and we must look at the positives," said Benitez.

"We are disappointed we did not win. But we are equal with Manchester United in January, we are still in the Champions League and we can make amends for this draw if we win the FA Cup tie against Everton on Sunday.

"And the players still believe they can mount a title challenge.

"It is not pressure to be level on points with Manchester United in January.

"We are disappointed with how we defended against that late free-kick, and disappointed with giving a free-kick away at that stage so close to our box. It could have been avoided."
