Liverpool captain Stevie G has spoken to the official site ahead of the game against Chelsea, a match in which he could very well have been playing in blue. But he was adamant he made the right choice.

"I've no regrets, not one at all. The only regret I do have at the moment is that I'm injured. I wish I could be playing for Liverpool against Chelsea at the weekend. But it's not to be.

"I decided to stay at Liverpool in the summer because I love the club and I want to play in a red shirt, it's as simple as that. I did contemplate moving, as I've said before, but I'm happy here and that's the way it is."

Despite his obvious disappointment at being out of action, Gerrard is backing his team-mates to end a poor run of away form against the high-flying Blues.

"We can go to places like Chelsea and get a result," he adds defiantly. "We proved that last year. We are the underdogs again because Chelsea are doing so well but the boys will definitely be up for it. I'll be watching and cheering them on, and hopefully we'll get the right result.

Almost a fortnight after limping off the Old Trafford pitch, Gerrard admits he's bored and itching to play again. He's due to undergo a scan on his injured left foot on Monday and he's hopeful of being back in contention for a return to the team within the original timescale of eight weeks.

"It's a nightmare but injuries are part and parcel of the game. I've just got to get on with it and stay positive. I'd be a liar though if I said I wasn't bored and fed up. There's nothing really I can do because I'm still on crutches.

"I'm looking at maybe sometime around the middle of November to make a comeback but it's an injury you can't rush in case you do it again."
