Kalou - "Win at Liverpool is a boost to title bid!"

Salomon Kalou has also spoken about our game tomorrow and believes a win at Anfield is a big boost in our bid to retaining the Premier League. He said:

"I wasn't at the club [for the 2005 semi-final], but I have heard the story of it in the dressing room many times. When Chelsea go to Liverpool there is always an edge. I think it started from Mourinho and Benítez. Every game between the two clubs is a tough game.

When you go to a stadium like that and win, it gives you a big boost to win the title, Liverpool have had a bad start but you can never give up on them. They are still a big club with big players. It doesn't matter about league positions. We have to be ready for a battle.

If we can be at least five points ahead of Manchester United by the festive period, it will be a good step towards the title, The goal is to be even further ahead by Christmas. There will be other teams challenging but we still see United as our main rivals."

I have to say tomorrow is such a different game to recent seasons because of whats happened to Liverpool in the past year. The two sides couldn't be further apart at the moment and the game at Anfield was always one of the games we look for when the fixtures come out.

Kalou is right, another win at Anfield is a step towards the title but there still is a long way to go.
