Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admits revenge is on his mind after drawing Chelsea in the Champions League quarterfinals.

"Hopefully it won't make a difference to us that the second leg is away," Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv. "We have to think about the first game at Anfield with our fans behind us and look to get a positive result to take to Stamford Bridge.

"We need to make sure we don't make a mistake in the first leg like we did in last year's semi-final.

"They will be two tough games but we are playing well and clearly we are confident we can win."

Benitez had hoped to avoid an English side, but he added: "At this stage of the competition, you know you'll play against a good team. Chelsea are a very good team.

"We know each other very well and this is an exciting draw.

"We knew it would be difficult to avoid an English team but we need to approach the two games with confidence. We've done the double over them this season in the league but clearly these two games in the quarter-finals will be different."
