Liverpool v Chelsea in the Capital One Cup is live on talkSPORT on Tuesday 20 January 2015
The last time Liverpool faced Chelsea in a domestic cup they lost the 2012 FA Cup final 2-1.
Tonight, at Anfield in the Capital One Cup semi-final first leg, there is a chance to exact some revenge and move a step closer to glory.
Cup success would be a welcome relief on Merseyside considering the difference in fortunes between this season and the last where they were narrowly beaten to the Premier League title by Man City.
But Liverpool will have been boosted by recent their performances and the fact they have beaten Chelsea in their two previous League Cup meetings at Anfield.
Lazar Markovic has put in some excellent displays recently and Lucas and Jordan Henderson have combined well. Adam Lallana could play some part, too, with the midfielder recovering from a thigh injury and he was on the bench against Aston Villa. Captain Steven Gerrard is also back after a minor hamstring injury kept him sidelined.
However, if Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers persists with playing three at the back, then “Chelsea’s wide men will tear them apart,” according to Martin Keown.
