This week, star defensive midfielder for Chelsea, Nemanja Matic talked about today's important Capital One Cup match.
"In the first leg against Liverpool I don't think we played badly. There were some moments in the game where we could have done a bit better and I'm sure we will do that today. We didn't lose which is the most important thing," the player told the official Chelsea website. "In this situation you always have a second chance. If you have the quality to get to a final you will show it over two legs and we have to do that, to show our quality, today."

Meanwhile, Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers isn't about to look at Chelsea's FA Cup embarrassment as a way to judge the EPL leaders.
"The team is on the up, we have seen that over the last number of weeks - confidence is really high," Rodgers said this week ahead of the semi-final game, according to BBC Sports. "We certainly won't be underestimating Chelsea because they have had a disappointing result, we know that every element of our game has to be at a high level. If you analyze the last game [against Chelsea] we were very good defensively, we had great pressure on the ball, we were very good controlling the counter-attack. The opportunity to win trophies was always going to be a priority for us. We feel confident that we can get a result that gets us into the final."
