They both have great forms at their home grounds with Chelsea's home form being the best in the world.

Great two legs we are going to enjoy

Im gonna say Chelsea to go through by a goal. Will be a draw tonight at Anfield 1-1. Chelsea have the quality in the side to inevitable score 1, and Liverpool lack adventure to score more that 1 (unless they get lucky like against Inter).
Chelsea wont lose at home, and so Liverpools lack of ambition in the first leg will cost them. Well thats what I think.
I think we have two completely contrasting semi finals, with two "tactical cautious" teams in one game, and two adventurous teams in the second. Should make for two very interesting games.

hmm...how did you work that one out this season?
Arsenal, Inter, Besiktas, Marseille and Porto would all love to beg to differ on that point.
I think you underestimate Liverpool way too much - and it seems to come from Liverpool's failure in the league - that said, I think we've got a pretty decent goal tally this season too - that's just an assumption, I'm sure you'll clear it up.
btw...neither Kuyt's nor Gerrards were 'lucky' - let me guess 10 men argument - you never said that at OT earlier.

Liverpool are the highest scoring team in the CL this season.

obviously they were going to be the top scorers in the champions league with besiktas in their group haha

Early team news for Chelsea.
Didier Drogba is set to lead the attack with Joe Cole and Florent Malouda supporting him upfront.
Could be 2 formatoins cancelling each other out after all - not that anyone predicted anything else.

Good luck to both teams and fans

Nice to see a Scotsman (Alex Miller ex RFC) head coach with Liverpool doing so well


IMO i think Liverpool could just shade it by the odd goal,but Chelsea could win the tie.

Extra time and penalty shoot-out in London?
