Liverpool fullback Stephen Darby has welcomed the chance to show manager Rafa Benitez "what I can do" this preseason.

The youngster told liverpoolfc.tv: "It's hard to get into the team because the standard is so high and the manager is bringing players in not just from this country but from around the world. That makes the competition tougher but I'm enjoying getting games during pre-season and hopefully I've shown the manager what I can do."
