REDS GET CHELSKI IN SEMI FINAL

RAFA'S VIDEO REACTION TO THE DRAW (WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER)

Liverpool have drawn Chelski in another Semi Final. Remember the last one folks? It should have been the ideal final, but we might as well knock them out now!

In the other semi-final Middlesbrough or Charlton will face West Ham. The ties will be played on April 22 and 23.

Chelsea and Liverpool also came face to face five times last season, meeting twice in the league, in a two-legged Champions League semi-final and the Carling Cup final. Again the Blues triumphed in both league meetings and the final at the Millennium Stadium, while Liverpool won the Champions League semi-final over two legs en route to winning the competition. Middlesbrough and Charlton will play again on April 12 after a goalless draw at The Valley last night, while West Ham booked their place in the last four with a 2-1 win away to Manchester City. .

Reds boss Rafael Benitez is expecting a 'difficult tie' against the Premiership champions. .

He told the club's website: 'It will be a difficult game for both teams. 'We know each other so well and when you play a cup tie you know it will always be a difficult tie. We shall see what happens. 'They are a very good side but so are we. We have a lot of confidence and we know it's a game we can win.'
