Crouch: we can beat Chelsea

Liverpool striker Peter Crouch is confident that the Reds are more than capable of defeating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Chelsea currently lie 3rd and Liverpool are in 6th desperate for Champions League football.

"We are good enough to beat them and we know that we are because we have done it before," Crouch told the club's official website.



"If you think back to the league game at Anfield last season, when we won 2-0, the two recent Champions League semi-finals and even the league game at Anfield a few months back when we were unlucky not to beat them, we have shown that we have the ability to get the better of them, and we have to try and do the same thing tomorrow.



"It is a big game for us and it was important that we got a good result against Sunderland last week because we can take the confidence we got from that into the Chelsea game.



"We've beaten Chelsea in big games before and this is a big game for us and them.



"They want to challenge Arsenal and Man United and we've got to keep our momentum going. So if we can get a good result against them it will stand us in good stead for the games still to come."
