Now we are to play a Highly Motivated Chelsea, no thanks to Bradford - Rodgers

 Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes Chelsea will have a greater motivation to reach Wembley after their shock FA Cup defeat by Bradford City.

The Reds head to Stamford Bridge after drawing the League Cup semi-final first leg 1-1 at Anfield.

Chelsea lost 4-2 at home to Bradford on Saturday, having led 2-0.

"The result at the weekend doesn't help - they will have great motivation," said Rodgers. "When you come off a game like that, you want to put it right."

However, Rodgers believes the manner of Chelsea's defeat will give his side hope if they do fall behind on Tuesday. - BBC
