Chelsea or Liverpool?
Chelsea vs Liverpool always turns out to be an action packed fixture and that's what we're hoping to get as the two clubs will face each other in the Capital One Cup semi final for a chance to proceed into the final.
Let's take a look at both team's path to the semi-final:
Chelsea FC
Chelsea kicked off their Capital One Cup campaign in the 3rd round with a fixture against Swindon Town. The Blues seemed very comfortable as they cruised to a 4-0 victory. Victor Moses, Schurrle, Lukaku and Azpi getting the goals.
In the 4th round, Chelsea faced tougher opposition in Wolves, however they had the home advantage. The Blues played a fairly weaker side but still managed to pick up a 2-0 victory. Lukaku was once again on the score-sheet. Torres also managed to score but picked up an injury in stoppage time.
Lukaku must really love this cup as he scored a brace as Chelsea defeated Brighton 3-2 in the quarter final. This was Chelsea's most competitive match so far and Brighton nearly pulled off an upset. Moses gave Chelsea the lead, before Lukaku doubled the lead. After half time, Brighton came out refreshed. The Seagulls scored two goals to make it 2-2. Just when all the Brighton fans seem they can stun Chelsea, Romelu Lukaku scores the winner to put Chelsea into the semi final and book a fixture with Liverpool.
Liverpool FC
Liverpool on the other hand, started their Capital One Cup campaign in the 2nd round vs league 2 Torquay. The Reds weren't really tested as they cruised to a 3-0 victory thanks to a brace from Steven Gerrard and a nice goal from Iago Aspas.
Next up for Liverpool an away fixture vs Blackburn Rovers in the 3rd round. This was a memorable game for the team as it was the return of Luis Suarez following his 10 match ban. It was the Uruguayan who gave Liverpool the lead, unfortunately for Liverpool, two minutes later Blackburn equalised through Rosado. From this point onwards the match was very competitive and eventually lead to extra time. Newboy Gaitan picked up the winner to send Liverpool through to the next round.
The 4th round match for Liverpool was certainly an entertaining match. The first half ended 0-0. In the second half, both things had one thing on their mind, both wanted to win. Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Iago Aspas made it 3-0 to The Reds. Just when everyone thought the game was done and over, West Browm scored two goals in the space of three minutes to really alert Liverpool. Unfortunately for West Brom, they couldn't pull through to score one more. Final score, 3-2 to Liverpool.

Going into the quarter final of this cup, many would have thought Newcastle could destroy Liverpool's dreams of winning the cup. Many bookies tipped them to win the game, but Liverpool shocked many with an outstanding team performance as they thrashed Newcastle 4-0. A brace from Aspas, a goal from Gerrard and Sturridge saw Liverpool book a place in the semi-final.
