Hodgson: Liverpool need Anfield fans at best to beat Chelsea

Roy Hodgson says Liverpool need Anfield rocking if they're to shock Chelsea tomorrow.

The Reds boss is calling on his side to rise to the occasion against the reigning Barclays Premier League champions and give the Anfield crowd something to respond to.

"Our crowd will be vital to us on Sunday, no doubt about that, but we've got to give them something to cheer about," he told liverpoolfc.tv.

"Crowds will only really get behind their team if they have got something to cheer about, and we want to reward them on Sunday.

"Our crowd know the players are working as hard and they can and putting the effort in.

"We will go into this game in good spirits and we don't fear Chelsea.

"We don't fear any opponents but at the same time the way the Barclays Premier League is this season you can win and lose to any opponent.

"You have always got to be at your best and be prepared to work hard and we will do that against Chelsea."
