The Reds have recorded three Barclays Premier League doubles over Chelsea - all in the last four seasons, and Brendan Rodgers' charges will head to Stamford Bridge full of confidence.

Di Matteo said: "They are our bogey team because they always seem to play exceptionally well against us and get results.

"It's always a difficult game against Liverpool and it'll be difficult to beat them.

"We'll have to make sure we're very focused and we'll need to play a very good game to win it."

Chelsea will welcome back captain John Terry after his domestic suspension but Ashley Cole remains a doubt.

Di Matteo added: "He'll (Terry) be available for Sunday, for sure, and he'll be in a good position to be involved."

This time it looks like this winning run is coming to an end because Chelsea are stronger compared to last few seasons. Don't think Liverpool can beat Chelsea by outpassing them because Chelsea have better technical players, only way we can beat them is by outfighting them but this team lacks that fight. So i don't expect us to win.
