Xabi Alonso is hopeful the Anfield factor will enable Liverpool to reach the UEFA Champions League final.Liverpool head to Merseyside trailing by one goal, as Joe Cole popped up to hand Chelsea a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Both camps are confident of progressing and midfield schemer Alonso feels Liverpool can overturn the deficit.
Anfield has played host to some famous European nights and Alonso is looking for the Liverpool faithful to roar the players on to victory next week.
"We know how special it is at Anfield on European nights," Alonso told Sky Sports News. "We are able to score that goal and look forward (to next week).
"We are confident, but we know it will be difficult at the same time."
Alonso's midfield cohort Steven Gerrard says The Reds are far from despondent with their defeat at Stamford Bridge.
He said: "We are not down. We would have liked a better result but we go into the second half of the game 1-0 down but we are capable of scoring at Anfield."
