New Delhi: In the second leg of the second semi-final in the Champions League on Wednesday night two big English clubs will face each other.
Chelsea will host Liverpool at their home stadium Stamford Bridge for a chance to meet Manchester United in the final in Moscow next month.
The first leg last week had ended in a 1-1 draw. Chelsea start as favourites to reach the final for the first time as they hold the away goal advantage.
Chelsea are also likely to have Frank Lampard back in the squad after the death of his mother.
"You know, it's always difficult to start the game and thinking about playing 0-0. I think there is no team in the world who will play just for 0-0. I think we will play with a positive mood. We want to make sure that we score a goal and make it even more difficult for them," Petr Cech, Chelsea goalkeeper, says.
But Liverpool's Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, with 41 goals between them this season, pose the biggest danger for Chelsea.
"I think that they need to attack, that is clear, because the supporters, they will be waiting for something special. You cannot defend at home and lose nil-one because your supporters, they will not be very, very happy. So, I think that they need to attack, and we need to attack, so at the end of the day it could be an open game," Rafael Benitez, Liverpool manager, says.
