​Chelsea defender Azpilicueta warns Liverpool: It'll be 2014 all over again!

Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has warned Liverpool about their meeting this weekend.

The Blues right-back wants Liverpool to know the upcoming clash at Anfield will not be a walkover.

The Reds may be marching towards the title, but Chelsea have top four goals of their own and are determined to win the game.

Azpilicueta hopes Chelsea can replicate 2014, when they stopped Liverpool's title party with a 1-0 win.

The Spaniard said to reporters: "When we went there they had the party nearly ready because they were smashing every team at Anfield.

"We arrived with a very clear idea and we played the game we had to. To beat that team was a very important win for the club. Hopefully we can replicate it on Sunday.

"But it is not about frustrating Liverpool, it is about playing our game. We know they are fighting for the title, but for us every point is vital to finish in the top four.

"We need to keep the solidity we have shown in the last few games, and defend well. We have proved ourselves already at Anfield this season.

"Whatever you did in the past is nice - but we have to prove ourselves again on Sunday."
