Luis Garcia says that Liverpool have nothing to fear against Chelsea in Sundays Carling Cup final. The reds midfielder recognises that Chelsea are rightfully top of the Premiership, but thinks that Liverpool are capable of beating them on their day. In an interview given to liverpoolfc.tv, Luis says that inconsistency has been Liverpools biggest problem this season.

"We have shown Liverpool are not a long way behind Chelsea in the two games we have played this season but the points difference in the table shows they have been more consistent than us," he says.

"We have played very well in one game, then lost the next. Chelsea have been a lot more consistent throughout the season, they are a good side, but so are we."

But while confident of victory in Cardiff, Garcia has dismissed suggestions that Liverpool's task has been made easier by the absence of Arjen Robben from the Chelsea side.

"People might think we have a better chance because Robben is injured but I don't see it that way. He is a great player, but he is not a team and Chelsea have a strong team whether he is fit or not.
