Blues Favourites For Semi-final Clash
Wednesday 30 April 2008 at 09:52  Avram Grant will tonight attempt to do something Jose Mourinho could not manage and guide Chelsea to Champions League semi-final success against Liverpool.
The Blues are in control of the tie having drawn 1-1 at Anfield in the first leg and are best priced at 8/15 with William Hill to progress and set up a final meeting with Manchester United in Moscow.
Liverpool have not recorded a victory or even scored at Stamford Bridge since 2004 and are 13/5 with PartyBets to win in 90 minutes and 17/10 with Sportingbet to reach the final.
Perhaps the man most likely to end the Reds' barren spell at the Bridge is 30-goal striker Fernando Torres and the Spaniard insists he is ready to do battle with Chelsea's physically imposing defence.
"John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho … do me an honour by giving me a tough time. Now I'm going to try to respond to them by getting a couple of goals against Chelsea," he said.
Torres is best-priced at 7/1 to score the first goal and 9/4 to find the net at any time with Ladbrokes. However, Chelsea's Didier Drogba is favourite to open the scoring at 6/1 with 888Sport.
