Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says recent results count for nothing ahead of Sunday's clash at Chelsea.

The Reds prevailed in last season's corresponding fixture, claiming a 1-0 victory in the capital in February to complete a league double over the Blues.

However, Dalglish warned those results will count for nothing come kick-off on Sunday.

"There is a reason - if we don't play as well or if they play better than us," he said when one reporter put it to the boss there was no reason his side couldn't repeat their Stamford Bridge success of 2010-11.

"We got our reward for last year by getting three points added to our tally. This year there are new people - a new manager at Chelsea, new players for us and them, a different environment and a different stage.

"We'll go and try our best to get as good a result as we did last year. Everybody is looking forward to it. It is a difficult game, but it's a difficult game for them as well not just ourselves. It's not just us that think it will be difficult, I am sure they do as well."
