Chelsea skipper John Terry expects a tough Capital One Cup semifinal with Liverpool.

Chelsea have already won in the Premier League at Anfield this season, 2-1 in November, and return having won six of their last eight games in all competitions.

"It's a tough place to go," said skipper John Terry. "Raheem Sterling looks like he's back and they proved, when we went up there in the League, that it's a tough game.

"You have to forget form and where they are in the League and everything else. That goes out of the window. It's Chelsea against Liverpool.

"It's going to be tough over the two legs and I just hope we are strong enough.

"Our performance at Swansea on Saturday has set the tone, and then there is the big one in the League against Manchester City [on January 31]. You cannot prioritise and say one is bigger than the other, but it's a big week or two."
