BIG PETE: NOTHING TO FEAR FROM CHELSEA

Peter Crouch isn't scared of Chelsea ahead of tomorrow's big clash. He was speaking ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge:

"We have had a chance to have a look at every one else now this season because we are well into the second round of fixtures. I think we have probably been the best team in England, other than Chelsea," he says.

"They are consistent and well ahead of the chasing pack but I don't think that they are a better team than us in one off situation, as we have proved twice this season."

Earlier this season Liverpool slumped to an emphatic 4-1 Premiership defeat at home to Chelsea. It's a result Crouch describes as a fluke and he's adamant that everyone at Anfield is determined to put the record straight this time around.

He adds: "We know that was never a true reflection of the way the game went. We threw caution to the wind and paid the price with some late goals conceded.

"Until the Birmingham game in midweek those were the only goals that we have lost in the league at home all year so we must be doing something right. We'll be going down to Stamford Bridge determined to get a result.

"They're always great games to play in and this one will be massive. Who knows what a win might do for us, but that will be what we are aiming for."
