Chelsea Vs Liverpool 2nd Leg Pre-Match Build Up And Highlights.

Tonight’s Champions League match is Chelsea Vs Liverpool in the 2nd leg of their semi final encounter and in the build up to the game it is really starting to heat up between the two clubs.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has criticised Chelsea striker Didier Drogba this week by accusing him of diving. We also understand that Rafa has been showing his team some video footage of Drogba’s on-field antics this week to try and stamp it out and as you can imagine Chelsea and Dider Drogba didn’t take too kindly to this form of criticism. Are these masterful mind games from Rafa Benitez? Is he trying to heap the pressure on Drogba and raise awareness on his falling over for the ref’s sake before the game? Or is he simply giving Chelsea and especially Mr Drogba that extra incentive to go out, do well and prove Benitez wrong? I guess we shall found out tonight but even without all this pre-match bitching this game has the foundations to be a cracker.

Liverpool play at their best when they know they have to go out and score goals which is exactly what they have to do tonight. However Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is an easy game for no team and it will be very tough for The Reds. A 0-0 draw will see Chelsea go through but I’d give you 1000-1 on that happening. Chelsea should be favourites to book a Champions League Final place against Manchester United but as we have seen so many times in this competition before, when it gets to this stage you can right off no-one, especially Liverpool who have proved time and again in the Champions League that they fear no-one and have what it takes to beat absolutely anyone.

Fabio Aurelio is Liverpool’s only injury problem and Liverpool’s own goal villain from the first leg, John Arne Riise could fill in for him.

Chelsea’s Frank Lampard looks set to return tonight after missing out in the clash with Manchester United at the weekend due to the death of his mother. Highlights Here After The Match.
