Lucas Leiva believes Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres could fire Liverpool to victory at Chelsea - but only if the team produce one of their best displays of the season.
The Brazilian midfielder is well aware of the brilliance the duo are capable of, but feels any success the Reds enjoy this season will be down to a collective effort rather than the form of individuals.
"If we win it is because we are a team. If we lose it is exactly the same," he said.
"My belief is that individuals can only play well if the whole team is playing well and that includes Stevie and Nando.
"If we are going to beat Chelsea it is because the whole team is playing well.
"Hopefully we can do that at Stamford Bridge and that will allow our big players to show their quality."
