Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink insists his side have not already qualified for the Champions League semi-final, despite having beaten Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield in the quarter-final first leg.
The Blues host their Premier League rivals on Tuesday evening with the knowledge that the Reds must score at least three goals if they are to progress.
However, the Dutch tactician has insisted that his side must approach the game as they would any other and go in search of a win as that will be the best way of preventing Liverpool attaining victory.
"I don’t like to depend on luck. It gives you an excuse most of the time," Hiddink is quoted as saying by The Sun.
"We’ve prepared very seriously. A lot of people have said, if you win an away game in Europe like we did, then you won’t have any concerns for the second game.
"But we’re not thinking like that. Liverpool are a very good team who play beautiful football, and we’re very aware of that.
"It cannot be a cautious game where nothing happens for an hour then maybe a team takes some risks at the end.
"That’s not in either team’s souls. We have to go for the win at home."
