Liverpool can beat Chelsea without Torres, insists Benitez

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez insists they can beat Chelsea today without crocked star Fernando Torres.

"We do not have Torres, but I believe we have the fire-power to beat Chelsea," the Spaniard said. "We have been playing well and have good confidence.

"We have enough quality in the squad. We may have been more worried without Torres in the past, but we have improved, we have new players with a very good mentality.

"We have enough to beat a very good team, and that is what Chelsea are. It is too early to talk of titles, but we have the confidence to beat anyone.

"So we will go to Stamford Bridge and try to do our best. If we win it will be perfect and if we do not lose that too will be positive."
