With a lot of luck, Chelsea managed to avoid defeat, since reserve
Riise scored an own goal in the final minutes of the match thus giving
a fantastic result for the London side before the returning leg.
Benitez side drew on Saturday in Birmingham but Torres, Gerrard,
Carragher weren't playing and the Reds are obviously traveling to win
in London.
On the other hand, Chelsea marked a very important win in
the derby against Manchester United and now they are level on points
with Manchester United.
The Blues wish to revenge for the last two
times Liverpool eliminated them from Champions League semifinals so
Avram Grant’s players will start the match with maximum motivation.
Liverpool and Chelsea, meeting in their third Champions
League semi-final in four seasons, will be facing each other for
the 20th time in all competitions in that period.
Probable teams: Chelsea: 1-Petr Cech; 5-Michael Essien, 6-Ricardo Carvalho, 26-John Terry, 3-Ashley Cole; 4-Claude Makelele, 13-Michael Ballack, 8-Frank Lampard; 10-Joe Cole, 11-Didier Drogba, 21-Salomon Kalou Injured : Cudicini Liverpool: 25-Pepe Reina; 17-Alvaro Arbeloa, 23-Jamie Carragher, 37-Martin Skrtel, 6-John Arne Riise; 18-Dirk Kuyt, 20-Javier Mascherano, 14-Xabi Alonso, 8-Steven Gerrard, 19-Ryan Babel; 9-Fernando Torres Injured : Kewell, Agger Referee: Roberto Rosetti (Italy)
