It's clear that the bookmakers favor Chelsea to go to the final due to that late goal.
But, if Liverpool score things are back where they were.Most matches between the two were low scoring ones, so that is why bookmakers see it less probable for Liverpool to score which puts Chelsea in the best position.
But i really do see Liverpool scoring here and i wouldn't exclude the overtime , and maybe some penalty shoot outs.
If Crouch will play along Torres i see problems for Chelsea.

The odds for Liverpool to qualify have value on them and are worth taking with a small stake.

Chelsea have a 12-6-0 35-12 home record, what makes you think Liverpool will be a problem to Chelsea.It is about time Chelsea got to the Final, some much time and money invested in this team and no Champions League success, now is the time.

Maybe it's not time for them just yet, i just can't help but remind myself the way Chelsea has been playing the last matches, they start the matches well, after which they defend, the only problem is that Chelsea is not a team built for defending a results, and the match against Wigan is a perfect example, in which their tactics were wrong, another good example would be the match against Boro, only in that one, Chelsea were quite lucky not to receive a goal.

Maybe Chelsea will manage to score first tonight but then will defend, moment in which Liverpool's scoring power will come into action and get at least a draw (to put the match in overtime) if not to get a win.

Anyway it will be nice match to watch.
