Chelsea just another game

Although the game is already being hyped up as a test of Liverpool's Summer signings and an indication of whether the Reds will be involved in the title race or not, Rafa Benitez says it's just another Premiership match.

"Winning against Aston Villa, I said we shouldn't get carried away. Now, this is just the second game. It is important to win, and especially against a top side because it sends a message, but it's just one game," said the Liverpool boss.

"I will be pleased if I see the team progressing. If we win as well, that's better. But if you want to be a real contender, it's not just about winning one game - you need to win many."
