The England striker, who was still a Southampton player when Liverpool beat AC Milan in the final in Istanbul in 2005, believes his colleagues know they have the ability for a repeat performance.

The big striker said: "We have done well in Europe this season and won some important away matches. And we know we have the ability to beat them, we just have to do it now on the pitch."

Crouch has also dismissed Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's claim that Liverpool are the favourites to win Wednesday's first leg at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I don't know about that. We may have beaten them a few times recently as well as the semi-final before I joined the club. But Chelsea are a great side, particularly on their own ground, and they must be favourites."
