Steven Gerrard today warned Chelsea that Liverpool will end their unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge and reach their third Champions League Final in four years.

Chelsea have the advantage after John Arne Riise's horrendous injury-time own goal gifted the visitors a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Anfield.

Avram Grant's team haven't lost at home since Barcelona won 2-1 in February 2006 and Liverpool's record at Stamford Bridge is also poor.

They have not scored there under Rafael Benitez, with three draws and five defeats in his eight matches in charge, and their last win at Chelsea came in January 2004, but Gerrard said: "We believe we can beat Chelsea on their own patch. I am happy for people to say Chelsea are favourites, it's not important. We just have to block that out.

"We were the better team and created the better chances, I don't think Pepe [Reina] had anything to do apart from pick the ball out of the net at the end. Petr Cech pulled off two-three fantastic saves and we would have come off that pitch disappointed at 1-0 because it should have been a 3-0 victory.

"We've gone to Inter Milan, we've gone to Arsenal and scored so there is no reason why we can't do it at Stamford Bridge.

"We have come back a number of times and this team never knows when its beaten. Football can come down to small details and we were unfortunate that the luck was with Chelsea, maybe we will get the luck at Stamford Bridge."

Cech agreed that Chelsea were fortunate to come away with a draw but believes his side have now done enough to reach the final in Moscow on 21 May against Manchester United or Barcelona.

He said: "On the last two times we played at Anfield we didn't take our chances so this time we kept going right until the very end.

"Up to now we have had many chances to go through to the Final and haven't been able to do so. Once you break through that barrier though you have a big chance to win the tournament and I am confident now we will go all the way."

Gerrard is confident, though, that Fernando Torres will be the man who can get the ball past Cech and end their barren run at Stamford Bridge, even though he missed two great chances to give Liverpool victory last night.

"We haven't played there with Fernando Torres in our team yet and he can cause defences problems as we saw in the first half," Gerrard added.

Reina also feels Grant's team will feel the strain of having to face United on Saturday before the return leg next week.

Benitez can rest key players for their game at Birmingham, with fourth place in the Premier League virtually guaranteed.

Reina said: "They have a much tougher game than us and can't rest as many players as we can. I hope a game like that will take a lot out of them."

Substitute Riise's error in the fifth minute of added time cancelled out Dirk Kuyt's first-half effort, as he headed Salomon Kalou's cross past Reina.

But Gerrard said: "As captain we can't point any fingers at John and we must make sure we get his head right because he has a big part still to play. It's not about blame, it's about sticking together. We win, lose and draw together."
