Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen believes the Reds stand a great chance of getting a positive result against Chelsea in their League Cup semi-final tie tomorrow in order to make it to the final at Wembley.

The Reds drew 1-1 against the Blues in the first leg of their semi-final tie last week, at Anfield, after a first half goal by Eden Hazard was cancelled out by a spectacular Raheem Sterling strike in the second half.




Allen, who returned to action in Liverpool's 0-0 FA Cup draw against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, has featured 11 times in the Premier League this season, during which he has provided one assist.

Talking to the club website ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge, the midfielder appears confident and eager for their encounter to begin.
 


"Of course we can get a result – we all can't wait.

"These are the games you want to play in and from the first leg, you can see from the way that we set out and the way that we performed, that we can certainly get through this tie.”

Liverpool recorded a scoreless draw against Bolton Wanderers in their fourth round FA Cup tie on Saturday at Anfield and the Welshman insisted that their focus is now completely turned on Jose Mourinho’s team, rather than a replay against the Trotters.

"We'll recover after this game now and our focus turns to that game and going there and getting ourselves through."

In a shock FA Cup fourth round result, Chelsea squandered their two-goal lead against League One outfit Bradford City to lose 4-2 and bow out of the competition.

Liverpool will hope to replicate Bradford City’s success when they travel to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of their League Cup semi-final tie tomorrow.
