Chelsea News: Cesar Azpilicueta admits Chelsea hopes to impact Liverpool title

Cesar Azpilicueta admitted that Chelsea had enjoyed the title challenge for Liverpool in 2014 and hopes to do it again on Sunday.

A series of 11 consecutive wins propelled Liverpool to pole position in the Premier League standings with three games to play in the 2013-14 season, but a 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Anfield proved fatal to their challenge against Manchester City, which earned them the title. .

Jose Mourinho turned his squad for this match to focus on a Champions League semifinal against Atletico Madrid a few days later, but Demba Ba's goals – after Steven Gerrard's premature slip – and Willian offered a surprise win to Chelsea.

Azpilicueta, who has been present at Chelsea since the eleventh game that day, is hoping to stumble once again for the title, but conceded that his team should defend themselves solidly as a team to keep his attack silent.

"We enjoyed this day and hope to be able to reproduce it on Sunday," he told Sky Sports.

"It's not about frustrating Liverpool, but about playing our game. We know they're fighting for the title, but for us, every point is very important to the top four. .

"We know we are going to play a very strong team, but first of all we have to keep the solidity shown in recent games and defend ourselves very well as a team because they pose a serious threat.

"And if we take our chances, I think we've already proved ourselves this season by beating (2-1) in the League Cup, I think it's a great match and everyone can not wait to get it. to play. "

Sunday's game at Anfield is the toughest test in Liverpool ahead of the title race with home games against Huddersfield and Wolves, and trips abroad to Cardiff and Newcastle after their last four games.

A victory against Chelsea would allow them to win a first title of high flying champion since 1990. Manchester City still had not faced Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United before the end of the season.

Chelsea has a lot to do for himself with a spot in the top four and although he is currently third in the table, he has played one more game than Spurs, Arsenal and United.
