Jermaine Pennant believes Liverpool can beat Chelsea on Wednesday night and get to another Champions League final.

Liverpool have to score at Stamford bridge after John Arne Riise gifted Chelsea an away goal in the first leg, but Pennant insists Liverpool can progress: "All we have to do is score and keep a clean sheet at Chelsea and that would be us through, . It is going to be tough but we all believe we can do it.

Jermaine also spoke about his own chances of playing on Wednesday : "It is a massive ask for the manager to pick me for the Chelsea game because the team have been doing very well," added Pennant. "We'll just have to wait and see - but if I am on the bench then I will still probably enjoy it.
 
"I don't get fazed in these big games - I look forward to them. Whatever team the manager puts out it is going to be a great game and I wish the manager all the best for it.
 
"The manager has got wingers playing at the moment with Torres and Stevie G behind him but I can play on the wing - that's my position.
 
"At the start of this season I was doing well and in there regularly on the back of that Champions League final. But injury kept me out for four months with a fractured shin and then a double hernia and then it is hard to jump straight back in when someone is in your position playing well.
 
"It is frustrating but it is down to the injury and I just have to get match fitness back. Not playing for four months, it is going to take a while to get my form back but in my last two or three games I have done well, and I look forward to next season now.
