Four crucial factors for Chelsea vs Liverpool in Capital One Cup semi-final second leg

Posted by

Defence

While the best Liverpool performances of the last two seasons have been when we’ve blitzed teams, focusing on outscoring rather than containing our opponents, we’ll need to play intelligently here.

Brendan Rodgers is likely to select a three man back line again, with Emre Can, Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho seemingly his first choice central defence at present.

Should Chelsea deploy Diego Costa on his own up front, that will leave two spare men in the heart of the Reds back line, and deficits elsewhere on the pitch.

We’ll have to do a really good job at managing space for this to work.
