Reds hitman eyes Blues scalp
Liverpool, 11:58, October 25, 2008 ,
Robbie Keane is confident he can inflict more misery on Chelsea for new club Liverpool on Sunday if he can overcome a groin injury.
The Republic of Ireland international is a doubt for the Stamford Bridge showdown after suffering a slight injury around his pelvic region in the 1-1 Champions League draw at Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night. However, Keane is hopeful he will pass a late fitness test in order to line up for the Reds given that Fernando Torres is definitely missing due to a hamstring problem.
He said: "I tweaked my groin a bit in the first 20 minutes against Atletico, but my substitution was more of a precaution than anything else. Hopefully I will be okay."
Keane has a good record against the Blues for his former club Tottenham as he helped overcome them in February's Carling Cup final, before grabbing a late equaliser in the 4-4 draw at White Hart Lane in April which dented their Premier League title bid. And he is now aiming to continue that trend as Rafa Benitez's men look to end Chelsea's 86-game unbeaten run on home turf which stretches back to 2004.
Keane added on the club's website: "My last game against Chelsea was the 4-4 draw. Goals galore, it was phenomenal.
"It was attack versus attack and a great game to be involved in. I am sure it will go down in history as one of the great games in the Premier League.
"It was just great entertainment, great excitement. It was a bit like a schoolboy game in some ways because it just seemed like both teams were just attacking all the time. Probably wasn't the best for defending, but for the neutrals it was a good game.
"I remember there was a long ball played forward and it came off someone's back and luckily enough I was there. I connected with it and it went in the top corner.
"I think there were two minutes left. We could have actually pinched it right at the end - Berbatov had a chance with the last kick.
"Obviously it was a game Chelsea needed to win at the time and the result was a disappointment for them."
He added: "It will be tough on Sunday. They are doing well and haven't been beaten for so long at home, but the way I look at it records are there to be broken.
"We are doing well too. We have to be confident we can go there and get a result."
