Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to locking horns
with former mentor Jose Mourinho once again, this time with a Wembley
place at Stake.
Rodgers takes his Liverpool side to Stamford
Bridge for the second leg of their Capital One Cup semifinal on Tuesday
night and has high hopes of getting one over the Portuguese.
Rodgers, who worked as Mourinho's assistant during his first spell in
charge at Chelsea, was also beaten at Anfield in November, but last
week's 1-1 first-leg draw has offered plenty of hope.
"I
always say it is about the teams on the field but, knowing him, and how
Jose works and how competitive he is, I really enjoy the challenge,''
said Rodgers.
"The game last week was fantastic, it was a top-level game. We were at a really good level.
"Jose's record speaks for itself. He is a world-class manager and
will always have that competitive edge. Your teams have to be at the
maximum to get a result.
"We respect the opponent but we have got
nothing to fear in the game. We are a team that is in a good moment. We
are playing well, working well. We know we can go there and win.''
Victory for Liverpool would increase Chelsea's agony after their shock FA Cup loss to League One Bradford at home on Saturday.
