Benitez believes Sunday's game will show how far his side has come this season and the Spaniard is confident his side can close the gap on the league leaders after their visit to London.

"Chelsea will be a very difficult game but I am only thinking about three points and seeing my team continue to improve and close the gap on them. I always look to the next game and prefer not to talk about the league table," said the Liverpool manager.

"Apart from the match when we made some mistakes and lost 4-1, games between ourselves and Chelsea have been decided by just the one goal. That is because both teams have a lot of good players and play at a similar level.

"I would like to see a good game with a lot of opportunities and possibilities for us to score. One goal or one mistake could decide the game as the small details always make a big difference."
