Here is a few of the quotes from the Chelsea & Liverpool camps ahead of the massive game at Anfield tomorrow.
Carlo Ancelotti:
"The Liverpool players will be focused on this game, only this. Everyone respects the history of Liverpool. Everyone has to have respect for our history, too. Maybe it's a different history, but everyone has to have respect for the history of this club.
We have had some problems and lost a lot of away games, particularly after going 1-0 up at places like Everton and Aston Villa. But every game is a different story. The performance against Stoke last weekend will be good for us because, after we won 7-1 against Aston Villa, we went to Manchester United and won at Old Trafford. I hope we can repeat that same level of performance.
Liverpool are a strong team and it's difficult to win at Anfield. We have to remember that we're up against a strong team with fantastic players in a difficult atmosphere They played for two hours on Thursday night so, maybe, they'll be a little bit tired, but I've never seen Liverpool look tired at Anfield. They play strongly every game, and will do again on Sunday. I think that Sunderland will do their best to beat United and Liverpool will do the same against us. Every team has respect for this Premier League and every team has to do their best until the end of the matches. Now, two games from the end, Liverpool are involved in the race for fourth place so every team has an aim to reach.
But we know that, with two victories, we will be champions, so we have to focus on our games and that is it. Our aim at the start of the season was to win something. Now, 15 days from the end of the season, we are still involved in two important competitions. We're happy with this and will try our best to bring something home. At the moment, I have a good feeling about things."
Pepe Reina
"We have to pick ourselves up after Atletico. There wasn't anything left in the tank at the end, That's all we could ask of ourselves - to empty the tank. We did that during the 120 minutes. It was the last chance for us to win a title so we have to move on and Sunday is a massive game.
We have to try to win our two remaining games and at the very least make sure we get the one point we need to get in the Europa League next season. Of course there is a belief we can still get the top four but being realistic we know it's going to be tough because there are three teams above us. We have to make sure we recover well and get ready for Sunday. You have to respect Chelsea. They've been the best team so far this season."
Rafa Benitez (Before his shift at the local resturant):
"It will be more difficult than ever now to lift the players. We will have to check on everyone before deciding on the line-up. That is how it has left us. We had to change Yossi Benayoun and Javier Mascherano because they were very tired. We had to use Kuyt, even though he was injured against Burnley, and David Ngog was on the bench, even though he wasn’t 100 per cent.
I am proud of the effort the players put in, but now they are paying the price. It has taken a lot out of them. I thought that if we won, then adrenaline might carry us through against Chelsea. Instead, the players are not only very weary but very down. Our job is to try to get them ready for another big game, but it will not be easy".
KTBFFH!
