Chelsea and Liverpool play tomorrow at Stamford Bridge in what is to date their toughest fixture of the season. The two are locked together at the summit on 20 points, with six wins a piece. Each have dropped just four points and both are looking for their fourth consecutive league victory.

They are the two remaining unbeaten clubs in the top division; Liverpool have not suffered defeat in 15 league games, Chelsea in 29 and in an amazing 86 at home over four years and eight months.

The pair are meeting for the first time since the Londoners' victory in the semi-finals of the Champions League in April, and for the 21st time in just over four years.

Rafa is looking for a first away Liverpool victory against a fellow 'Big Four' club in his watch. The Reds have only managed two points and four goals in the 12 games on the grounds of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United since his arrival at Anfield.

Fernando Torres is not expected to play, but Rafa remains optimistic.
