Chelsea lead 1-0 on aggregate and with a slight advantage Liverpool need to come out fighting. Chelsea’s form has suffered lately and they have dropped to 5 points ahead in the title race for the English Premier League. Manchester United sit comfortably at the top in the domestic league and also travel to Milan for their away tie in the Champions League semi final.

Chelsea have picked up a couple of injury problems in the last week leading to a reshuffle in the teamsheet. Carvalho, Ballack and now Shevchenko all miss out. However, Essien and Robben look to return to the fray. Chelsea go into the second leg a goal ahead and will be difficult to break down even away from home. They will be looking for crucial away goals to seal their victory and progression to the UEFA Champions League final in Milan.

Liverpool will go all out in a tie they need to turn around. They are almost guaranteed Champions League football next season but after resting players at the weekend will not want to lose out in this late stage of the competition. Their defeat at the weekend was more a sign of focusing on this match than any real dip in form. Expect Anfield to be packed to the rafters for a gripping match. You can catch Liverpool v Chelsea live with Champions League football online. For the first leg we were able to make available over 50 resources for watching the match after domestic terrestrial TV fell through. We hope to repeat this for the second leg.

Chelsea go into the game favourites but Liverpool will be taking no prisoners. We believe it will be a tight match with Chelsea’s defence holding out for a 0-0 draw leading to progression for Mourinho’s blues.
