And I just think there's a lot of space on that pitch."Carragher added: "Liverpool will need to play well to win, there's no doubt about that."Remember what Everton did to Chelsea (a 3-0 win) and Liverpool are similar to Chelsea if you see where they are in the league.



But Everton aren't that far behind, are they?"Liverpool's big players need to play well but I think if they do play well, they might just about have enough in a tight game. It could be 1-0 or 2-1."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Jamie CarragherLiverpool FC
