What They're Saying
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via Daily Mail): "They [Chelsea] are very strong, so yes, it's the biggest test in English football right now. You see their quality. They are a very good side, but we will look at it as an opportunity to win at home. Now, our confidence is high and we are looking forward to it because we go into it on the back of a decent run. Against Chelsea, we haven't played as well as we would have liked in my time here. It would be good to change that."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via Independent): "A couple of times it's good fun [to sing], but to go and go and go, especially when a player like him [Steven Gerrard] deserves respect, I think we don't need that. We have so many other songs that we don't need that one [about him slipping], and I love these quotes when he was saying that in this life he would never score against Liverpool. I love these words."
