Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks is expecting fireworks when Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho go head-to-head again on Tuesday.The Reds tackle Chelsea in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final with The Blues currently holding a 1-0 advantage.
However, it is off the pitch in which the managerial pair do most of their talking and Hicks is expecting more fun and games at Anfield on Tuesday.
"They are pretty good rivals. They've got a long history with each other," Hicks told Sky Sports News.
"These guys are at the top of their profession. If they weren't competitive they wouldn't be there. It's going to be fun to watch."
Despite being new to Liverpool, American tycoon Hicks knows the importance of seeing off Chelsea and progressing to the final of Europe's elite club competition.
"Rafa is special, we know that," he continued. "Just watching his track record and how he's received by our fans.
"In the end, Rafa is like all managers. It's down to how successful they are on the pitch and tonight's important."
