Chelsea Vs Liverpool: Capital One Cup (1 - 0) On 27th January 2015 by luvola(m): 12:21am On Jan 21, 2015
A place at Wembley is up for grabs on Tuesday night, with the Capital One Cup Semi-Final between Chelsea and Liverpool finely poised at 1-1 going into the second leg.
A week after a pulsating first leg at Anfield, the top-flight duo meet again, at Stamford Bridge, to decide who will feature under the arch at Wembley on 1st March.

Eden Hazard gave Chelsea a first-half advantage last Tuesday after he converted his fourth penalty of the season, but the London club failed to hold out in the second period with Raheem Sterling’s fine run and finish pulling the score level.

That took Jose Mourinho's unbeaten record against Brendan Rodgers to four games, and Chelsea have now lost only once in their last eight meetings against Liverpool.

The two sides have certainly developed a rivalry in knock-out competitions in recent years, not least in the League Cup, where they’ve now met four times in 10 seasons.

The first came in the Final back in 2005, during Jose Mourinho’s first season with the Chelsea, when they earned an extra-time win over the Reds, and they’ve clashed twice in earlier rounds since then, with each club taking a 2-0 win in those meetings.

The pair were both in FA Cup action last time out, and neither managed to advance past lower division opponents. Chelsea crashed to a shock 4-2 defeat to League 1 Bradford City, despite going 2-0 up, while Liverpool were held 0-0 at home to Bolton Wanderers.

Liverpool need to gain victory over Chelsea in
Tuesday night’s League Cup Semi-Final
Second Leg, and Jack Lusby details how they
can do so.
Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge on
Tuesday to take on Chelsea in the League Cup
Semi-Final Second Leg, and the tie represents
manager Brendan Rodgers ’ best chance at
grasping silverware this season.
The first leg played out in mesmeric fashion —
the Reds were bold, Chelsea shrinking, and
the match-up could have been put to bed
were it not for some profligate finishing.
Much of this (relative) success was due to
Rodgers’ tactical mastery on the night.
Poised a 1-1, and now facing a tough away
leg, Liverpool need to recapture this tactical
thrust to stride to a Wembley final against
either Tottenham Hostpur or Sheffield United.
But what are the key tactical elements that
Liverpool need to focus on?
Get Lucas Leiva Prowling
The Reds’ weekend draw at home to Bolton
was hallmarked by a lack of vigour in central
midfield.
A partnership of Jordan Henderson and Joe
Allen made Darren Pratley look like Yaya
Toure on occasion, bursting past the midfield
duo.
Allen, making his return from a long-term
injury, struggled to keep the pace in that
game, but this was a mere step towards
regaining composure and fitness for the
divisive Welshman who, when focussed, can
play a crucial role in the Reds midfield.
Pratley’s skillset allowed these misgivings to
go unpunished, but a Chelsea midfield likely
consisting of Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic
and Oscar won’t offer the same leniency.
This requires a return for Lucas Leiva, in place
of Allen.
Against Chelsea in the first leg, Lucas was
attentive and aggressive, making seven tackles
and two interceptions—the same as the
coveted Matic.
Lucas spoke before Tuesday’s game, stressing
how he’s “realised that you have to work hard,
no matter what,” and this has boosted his
game during his time at Liverpool.
In order to protect the Liverpool defence
against Chelsea, and keep Oscar quiet, Lucas
must return.
Focus on Chelsea’s Full-Backs
It seems a superficial point to make, given the
immense quality Chelsea have in their full-
back positions, but this area currently
represents one of the Blues’ weakest points,
and should be made a target for Liverpool at
Stamford Bridge.
At Anfield, Mourinho fielded Branislav Ivanovic
and Felipe Luis on the right and left flanks
respectively, and neither will have been
pleased with their output.
Ivanovic in particular endured a torrid night,
short of confidence and bereft of support.
The 30-year-old was extremely wasteful on
the ball, finding his intended target with just
58.6 percent of his 29 passes, the worst of
any outfield starter on the night.
Expect Mourinho to counter this deficiency by
fielding Cesar Azpilicueta in place of either
Ivanovic or Luis, and crossing his fingers —
Azpilicueta showcased poor form himself in
Chelsea’s 4-2 FA Cup loss to Bradford City on
Saturday.
Former Chelsea trainee Filipe Morais gave
Chelsea’s left-back the run around in that
game, and Liverpool’s Lazar Markovic should
look to do the same on Tuesday.
Crucially, in this tie, Liverpool must improve
on the service to Markovic’s left-sided
counterpart, Alberto Moreno, who made
consistently threatening runs behind Ivanovic
last week.
Moreno was often ignored in favour of a
central approach, and Liverpool arguably
didn’t capitalise on what was likely a rare off-
day for Ivanovic.
Nevertheless, Chelsea’s full-backs represent a
weak link at present, and Liverpool should
look to exploit this with probing runs from
both Moreno and Markovic.
Reds No. 10 Philippe Coutinho should look to
them not as a second-best alternative to
Raheem Sterling ’s movement behind the
Chelsea defence, but a primary target.
Revert to Martin Skrtel at Central Defence
Against Bolton, Rodgers chose to rest Martin
Skrtel and included a returning Glen Johnson
at right centre-back, moving Emre Can to a
central role.
This marginalised Can’s creative talents, and
also offered him as a target for the bullish
Emile Heskey—although the Trotters striker
failed to take advantage of this.
Against Chelsea, Skrtel must return in
Johnson’s place, with Can shifted back to the
right hand side.
Skrtel suits this limited central role, with his
raw physical talents tailored to a pure
defensive battle of clearances and covering
tackles.
This will be crucial again on Tuesday, with
Chelsea’s Diego Costa a formidable physical
centre-forward.
Pitting Can or Johnson up against Costa
would be a swiftly punished mistake — the
Spanish-Brazilian thrives on an intimidating
approach, and neither would match up to his
dominance. Skrtel, however, is perfectly suited
to this battle.
In fact, the 30-year-old has towered over
Costa with regularity, on the international
stage and in the Anfield leg of this tie.
Arguably it is the mental battle that Skrtel
seems to most benefit from in this match-up,
and the centre-back thanked former Liverpool
man Luis Suarez last year for the “rude words
he’d taught me which I could use against
[Costa].”
Get under his skin and, surprisingly, Costa
fades.
At Stamford Bridge, Skrtel needs to gain every
advantage he can against Costa once more,
suffocating his talents and frustrating him as
Chelsea’s lone striker—cut the head off the
snake, if you will.
