Liverpool boss Rodgers tells Bradford: Thanks for nothing!

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is wary of a wounded Chelsea ahead of their Capital One Cup semifinal second-leg tie.

Rodgers accepts that the Bradford upset - branded a 'disgrace' by Mourinho - could impact one of two ways on Chelsea.

While on the one hand the Blues could still be reeling and vulnerable, on the other there could be a strong reaction.

Rodgers said: "The result at the weekend doesn't help - they will have great motivation. It is a different game, a different competition, a Wembley place is at stake. When you come off a game like that you want to put it right.

"But there is also that, in the back of your mind, even if you're up in the game - like they were, 2-0 - you can still lose the game. So I'm sure there'll be that wee bit of trepidation."
