Claudio said "They are not unbeatable. It has to happen sooner or later, maybe Sunday. Why not? We will go their with a lot of respect and we will try and win - but it will be the right respect, not too much respect.

"My squad is getting better. After the defeat to Arsenal in October, we improved a lot. We won against Lazio twice, we won against Besiktas and we won against Manchester United.

"That was good for our confidence and now we have to play face to face with them. We have improved a lot and that is important for us.

"Henry sometimes makes the difference. He is a fantastic player and even when he doesn't play well he is dangerous and can score a goal."

Which is why Chelsea were reportedly willing to break the bank for the Frenchman!
