Jose Mourinho has spoken again about the big-game atmosphere at Anfield – and urged his Chelsea fans to try to produce just a percentage of it for next week’s League Cup semi decider at Stamford Bridge.

The Chelsea manager, who in 2005, famously said he had “felt the power of Anfield” during the legendary Champions League semi-final second leg, will clash with the Reds yet again next Tuesday with a Capital One League Cup final place at stake.

Last night’s 1-1 draw has left the tie in the balance and the Portuguese manager wants his supporters to try to follow in the footsteps of those at Anfield to help secure that March 1 date at Wembley.

The game in pictures:

Mourinho, whose first trophy in England was a League Cup final victory over Liverpool in Cardiff in 2005, was critical of Chelsea fans following November’s win over QPR, saying he felt his side were playing in an “empty stadium”.

He believes a partisan crowd can make a big difference next week against Brendan Rodgers’ visitors.

Speaking on Chelsea TV, Mourinho said: “It was a two-leg semi-final, now it’s a one-leg semi-final. That says a lot.

“Two legs is difficult, Anfield is difficult and with this result we transform a two-leg semi-final into a one-leg semi-final at Stamford Bridge.

“If Stamford Bridge can give us 25% of the emotion Anfield gives Liverpool, I think we can do it. Liverpool, instead of 40,000 fans, they will have five or 10 (thousand).

“Chelsea, instead of 1,000, will have 40,000. I hope that can make a difference in the atmosphere.”

Might be a job for those “famous plastic flags” then...
