Blues scalp could change Reds season, says Benitez

RAFAEL BENITEZ has called for a first league victory over champions Chelsea under his command to change the course of Liverpool’s season.

The Anfield chief has spent this week making sure everything he and his players have said about today’s lunchtime showdown with Jose Mourinho’s men has been low-key in the extreme.

Benitez issued a decree that none of Liverpool’s players say anything even vaguely provocative about their big rivals from West London.
