"We have confidence but we know we are playing against a very good side," said the Reds boss.
"They have good players with a lot of physical qualities and as far as I am concerned we are both in the same position. We have two good squads, two managers with experience and a place in the final to play for.
"They talk about playing more games and about us having fresh legs but when you want to play in finals you have to have the squad to do it. If you want to play for trophies then you must be really good and Chelsea are really good. They have a good team because they have spent big money over a period of years."
