Harry Kewell has insisted the reds are not afraid of Chelsea insisting that the reds are every bit as capable of winning at Stamford Bridge.

"We know it's going to be tough but there's no way we're going there scared of Chelsea. They're a good team but then so are we.

"I know it's a cliche but it's eleven against eleven on Sunday and if we play well we know we can get a result.

"What happened in Greece in midweek was disappointing and we all felt a bit down after that game. But we have worked hard in training all week and we can make amends on Sunday."

Kewell's form has hardly sparkled this year, but the player is aware of that.

He said: "I know what I can do and I am confident in my own ability. It's been an up and down season for me so far but I know I can offer an awful lot more.

"The criticism I've had doesn't bother me. It never has done. There are always people who want to have a go at me but it's water off a duck's back now.

"I'm my own worst critic and I always know when I'm performing well and performing not so well. I know the quality I can produce and I'm working towards reaching my best level."
