Liverpool won 1-0 on aggregate
It has been said that this year Chelsea have an advantage in that the second leg is in London. Last year it proved effective but only just. This year the second leg will be played on Tuesday the 14th of April, the day before the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. For that reason alone I think that if we hold an advantage going into the second leg the team will badly want to mark the occasion with progress.
At the moment we are in a rich vein of form and it couldn't have come at a better time. In our last five games we have won all five, scoring 16 goals and conceding 1. Confidence seems to be high throught the team and there is a belief among fans that we can take on and beat anyone at the moment. Chelsea also look good at the moment, they have become stronger since the arrival of Hiddink and in their last 5 games the have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1. Crucially they have Essien back and if Drogba decides to turn up they have one of the best forward in the league.
With the first leg at home we must build up a lead to take to Standford Bridge. These matches are usually cagey affairs but the way we have been playing lately I think we will go at them from the start and I think we can come away with a 2-0 win
I would go with this team....
