Big test for the Reds tonight as they play hosts to league leaders chelsea in the ist leg of the capital-one cup

Seriously,a big test tonight coming for the Reds as they play hosts to league leaders chelsea at Anfield.

Rodgers & the Reds are at the receiving end early in the season after getting eliminated from the ist round of champions league & losing matches in a row has brought rodgers under increased scrutiny.
But of late the team has started to look good & players gelling with each other.The team has started to win matches & now they have not lost a single game in their last eight encounters in all competitions.
Their last defeat came against Manchester united in the league in mid-december.

But,immediately after that defeat at old trafford liverpool have responded strongly with a 3-1 win against championship leaders Bournemouth & then league wins against sunderland,swansea city,asto villa & draws against arsenal & leichester have just brought more confidence into that young liverpool side.
Lot has to be credited to Rodgers for this recent run of successes as his 3-4-3 formation  inclusion of emre can in the defence & keeping non-performers lovren,allen & balotelli has been some of the positive changes made by Rodgers so far which has brought some success in an otherwise indifferent season for liverpool.
But,now liverpool have just lost one match in their last 14 clashes & are unbeaten in their last 8 matches in all competitions but Rodgers says this young team is still improving & we'll keep improving with every upcoming match.Also,he added that the much  needed confidence & the spirit of winning has returned to team just at the right team & we'll continue to play in the similar fashion in the coming Days.
But,he is also aware of the opposition>The league has been the team to beat this season & with the likes of costa,oscar,fabregas they are the toast of the season so far.But,liverpool can take some inspiration from spurs & newcastle who beat chelsea 5-3 & 2-0.sometimes the defence looks vulnerable & the Reds will be looking to exploit that chink in the armour of chelsea.

Reds will also be boasted by the return of their inspirational captain steven gerrard & adam lallana so let's see what happens in this mouth-watering ist leg tie at anfield.
