Liverpool Manager Pressure is on Chelsea!!

 

The Reds need seven points from their last three games to guarantee a first league title since 1989-90.
A Liverpool victory at Anfield would also end Chelsea's hopes of winning the Premier League trophy.

"Everyone talks about pressure but that is Manchester City or Chelsea - when you spend that sort of money and expect to win the league," said Rodgers. 

"I don't think there is pressure on ourselves, only what we have from within. Look at Tottenham ... [when] you spend over £100m you'd expect to be challenging for the league.

"People talk about pressure but it's absolutely wonderful."

Rodgers, who succeeded club legend Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool boss on 1 June 2012, is well aware of the threat posed by Chelsea, even though the visitors will be without a full-strength team.

Mourinho, who travelled to Liverpool alone because he was feeling unwell and did not want to pass anything onto his players, refused to discuss his selection plans on Friday but Rodgers said he did not think the Portuguese was playing mind games.

Rodgers worked under Mourinho at Chelsea between 2004-2007 and said: "Jose's a winner, he won't give up.

"There's certainly no mind games from him towards me. He knows me well enough to know that it wouldn't bother me one iota what anyone says or does.
