Rodgers pre match:
"Jose's a winner. He won't give up," Rodgers told his pre-match news conference on Friday.
"There are certainly no mind games between him and me. He knows me well enough to know that it wouldn't bother me one iota what anyone says or does.
"I saw some stuff written about them maybe fielding a weaker team. I think that's hugely disrespectful to some of their players, if they're deemed to be the weaker ones in the squad.
"Whatever team they put out, it will have cost more money than ours, and it will be more experienced that ours."
Rodgers accepts that Chelsea will have to make changes between the two games, with midfielders Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel likely to figure at Anfield because they are suspensed for the Atletico match.
Similarly, Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah - both ineligible to play for Chelsea in this season's Champions League - are also likely to face Liverpool.
Rodgers cited the recent problems facing Manchester City, who he suggested failed to make enough changes between the side that lost 3-2 at Anfield on April 13 and the one that drew 2-2 at home to Sunderland three days later, severely damaging their title chances.
"It is difficult for Chelsea because they've got the game in the week, and there's no doubt that if they field the same team on Sunday and Wednesday, then there is a cost to that," Rodgers said.
"We've seen that with Manchester City. When they played us, it was a really intense match because of the nature of our game. We work tirelessly, we're aggressive in our attack and our defence.
"And I think Manuel [Pellegrini] felt on the Wednesday, when they played Sunderland, they had a real cost to pay and ended up drawing the game.
"I'm sure Jose won't want to go down that route. But in terms of mind games, it's not something that affects me."
Liverpool will take a late check on the fitness of striker Daniel Sturridge, who suffered a hamstring injury during the victory over City, and missed last Sunday's 3-2 win at Norwich as a result.
Rodgers said: "We'll wait and see. We'll give it another 24 hours. He's working hard with the medical team.
"If he's not fit, then we've coped before. We've managed before without a number of our players. We'll go into the game with confidence. We'll assess it over the next 24 hours."

Mourinho pre match:
"I have to defend my club and I have to defend Chelsea supporters," Mourinho said.
"If we are not helped to try to follow our dreams and our objectives, (it is) one more reason for us to close (ranks), to try to think about us and only about us.
"I think Chelsea fans would like Chelsea Football Club to be respected and to get the respect Chelsea Football Club deserves.
"They know what Chelsea did, not just for Chelsea Football Club, but also for English football.
"In the last 10 years, Chelsea was the most important club in this country, defending this country in European competitions.
"It's the last club to be European champion, it's the last club to win the Europa League, it's the club with the record of presence in semi-finals and Chelsea fans think Chelsea deserves more respect than Chelsea is getting."
Mourinho appears to have been evoking something of a siege mentality in recent weeks.
Prior to the pre-match media conference Chelsea made it clear his Football Association charge for criticising officials after last week's loss to Sunderland would not be discussed, nor would the Blues boss comment on charges levelled at his assistant Rui Faria.
Both have until 6pm on Monday to respond.
"Every time I speak there is a consequence," Mourinho added. "Even if I say that a referee was amazing that was a reason to be with a charge.
"I can't say the truth. I don't feel free at all. If you want a better press conference, speak with the FA."
Mourinho floated the prospect of wholesale changes after Tuesday's first-leg draw at Atletico and suggested he would put his thoughts to the Chelsea hierarchy.
Chelsea are unlikely to be punished by the Premier League for making numerous changes as clubs can select any player in their 25-man squad list without fear of sanction.
Mourinho declined to reveal the content of discussions and whether he will go ahead and field a different starting XI, but the reality is the matchday squad will likely include Frank Lampard, John Obi Mikel (both suspended in Europe), Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah (both ineligible for Europe).
Perhaps the greatest quandary is in goal, where Hilario could make a first appearance in more than three years for fear of injury to Cech's replacement Mark Schwarzer.
Along with the injuries, Brazil midfielder Ramires is banned for four matches for striking Sebastian Larsson in last weekend's loss to Sunderland.
"You wait for Sunday and Sunday you know our team," Mourinho added.
"We are going to try to win. That's the simple and objective answer. Nobody goes to a game to lose."
Mourinho declined to comment on Liverpool or their manager Brendan Rodgers, who worked under the Portuguese during his first spell at Stamford Bridge before embarking on his own career as a manager.
His message was clear and he believes Spanish footballing authorities are more accommodating of clubs' European ambitions and it is only because Atletico play Valencia this weekend that their match is on Sunday.
"The last weekend they played on the Friday and we played on the Saturday," Mourinho said.
"They play Sunday, luckily for us, they play against Valencia and Valencia played yesterday in the Europa League (against Sevilla) and Valencia cannot play on the Saturday.
"Instead of Valencia, if they played another team they would be playing today and they would have 48 hours more than us to rest."
Mourinho suggested Chelsea would accommodate another club's wishes if their future opposition is in the same position in future.
"Next season if another club is in a Champions League semi-final, maybe we change that," Mourinho added.
Chelsea are bidding for a third European final in three years after winning the Champions League and Europa League in successive seasons.
Terry and Hazard have a slim chance of being fit for the second leg with Atletico.
On Terry, Mourinho said: "(He) doesn't make this weekend and I don't think he can make next week, but let's wait."

Re: Liverpool vs Chelsea discussion
Probably the last big match left in the PL.
Should be good for various reasons. Wish it was at 4pm and not 2pm in early morning

City still have a game in hand, so I presume if they(City) win all their remaining games, they will pip LFC to the title. I could be wrong, I'm basing that off the top of my head so I could be wrong.
I want Chelsea to win ofcourse, but I think liberpoool will have too much for them. Chelsea's focus will obviously be on their massive game v Atletico, coupled with all their missing players, can't see nothing but a win for the home team.

Re: Liverpool vs Chelsea discussion
Chelsea's back 4 will be Azplicueta-Cahill-Ivanovic-Cole, not the joke of a line up mt posted. Midfield will have Matic-Mikel-Lampard/Oscar, plus Schurrle and Ba and Salah IMO. Our mobility should be too much for their midfield as Mikel and Lampard are statues basically. But hey, that's only on paper.
Anyways, Chelsea are dross away from home (2 wins in their last 9). if we don't beat them, we don't deserve the title anyways. Have a feeling it'll be a more comfortable victory compared to City/Norwich games. 12 in a row pls boys.Give Natalie a deserving birthday present !

Why are you creating a separate thread for this game? League is already over, this is no longer a title decider.
Players will be focused on the CL game midweek.

League is not over by any stretch of imagination yet. Chelsea win this, and provided Liverpool and City both win all their other matches they will have the same amount of points. City currently having the edge on goal difference.
A draw, would mean Liverpool would still have the advantage however both of our last 2 matches will be MUST wins.
Liverpool win then yeah party time

Re: Liverpool vs Chelsea discussion
what the f mikel is doing at defense?
I don't have no idea who is the other defender.Is he from their youth academy and the same with right back
Apart from defense line up the rest seems actually good

Re: Liverpool vs Chelsea discussion
We still have to go to Crystal Palace and anyone can drop points there, so the title race isn't over even if we win this game. That said, City play Palace today and like I said, anyone can drop points there.
If Chelsea can keep us from scoring during the first half an hour, when we have been unstoppable lately, then they will have every chance to even win this game. And Mourinho doesn't do rolling over.

Genuinely don't think we will win, or even draw I think Mou has his eyes set for Wednesday.

Re: Liverpool vs Chelsea discussion
Chelsea are excellent with their backs to the wall and Mourinho will certainly not be throwing this result away, no matter how much his team's chances are being played down. I personally feel that Liverpool will edge it, however Mourinho is certainly no stranger to frustrating home teams with his defensive 4-3-3. Whilst the team may have an eye on the Atletico tie, Chelsea have a deep squad and there are still many quality players who are unavailable against Atletico in any case who will feature today.

Re: Liverpool vs Chelsea discussion
Liverpool have scored the most goals (96) this season. Chelsea have conceded the least (26) but the Blues are without their GK and 2 CBs.
