Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has fired a warning at Chelsea ahead of their Capital One Cup semifinal second-leg. There will be an edge to the game after Henderson and Chelsea striker Diego Costa had a disagreement on the pitch with more verbal jousting continuing in the tunnel after the whistle.
In relation to the headlines which followed his confrontation with Costa, Henderson said: "I was a little bit surprised...but of course I don't know why you are talking about it."
Asked if there would be an edge to the game - in which he could be a target for home fans - Henderson added: "Probably. Liverpool, Chelsea - two big teams.
"I haven't really thought about it, it doesn't really bother me. The main thing is I go there and do the best for the team.
"You have to be strong mentally and physically and I think we have been that recently.
"We have shown we can be physical when we need to be but we just have to keep going."
