Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson admits they face a massive challenge in the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.
Henderson recognises the quality of the Blues ahead of Sunday's clash.
He said, "They are a fantastic team, there's no getting away from that, with fantastic players. They have got [fantastic] players all over the park. They are very strong in midfield, but [also] very strong all over and they've got a very good squad of players. You've seen what they've won recently and over the last year so, they have been successful.
"They will be looking to add to their trophy collection over the last year with the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup. For us, it's a final that we want to win, we want to use it as a platform to give us a big confidence boost going into the business end of the season. But, it's never going to be easy against Chelsea, they are a world-class team - as they have proved the last year or two.
"I think the manager has come in and done a fantastic job, so it will be a tough test but at the same time I feel as though we've got fantastic players here and we are a good team ourselves. If we perform to the level we are capable of then we can give them a good game."
Caoimhin Kelleher will start between the posts on the day.
Henderson also said: "I think he has been outstanding. All of the games that he has come in, I think he has been absolutely outstanding in everything that he's done. He's a fantastic lad, very level-headed and as a 'keeper, shot-stopping is obviously fantastic, his distribution is amazing and he is so calm as well.
"He is learning from probably the best 'keeper in the world, day in, day out, which will help him. That's certainly helped him when he's come in because he has been outstanding."
