gazlfcforeverThis is going to be a tight game, Essien will pick up Gerrard and almost form a two defensive midfield partnership.

Liverpool's main problem with be on the right side with both Malouda & Cole troubling Cara at the back because Maxi drifts inside this will be main area of chelsea's attack.

The only width for Liverpool will be provided by Jovanovic which he will struggle to beat Ivanovic. Centrally will have a problem because Gerrard will lack service and be kept quiet by Essien.

Skrtel and Kyrgiakos should cope with Drogba in the air but I think Anelka will cause problems against Konchesky.

I predict a very tight game 1:1.

ZolaI doubt Lampard will get a start. Ancelotti may get him in after the hour mark.

I'd be quite surprised if Liverpool manage to score in a tight game. Torres is not in a form to get the better of Chelsea's back four.

My money is, obviously, on Chelsea.
