Benitez's Liverpool all set to take on Hiddink's Chelsea in Champions League quarter-final

Liverpool's Champions League adventure against Chelsea continues after the English Premier League title rivals were paired with each other in yesterday's draw for the quarter-finals.

The draw in Nyon also saw Manchester United paired with Porto, while Arsenal will take on Villarreal. Barcelona and Bayern Munich will meet in the other match.

Next month's two-legged clash means Liverpool and Chelsea will have faced each other five times in the competition in recent years.

And Chelsea's interim boss Guus Hiddink said his players were looking forward to the Liverpool clash.

"It's getting more and more exciting at the end of the Champions League season," he said.

"If you have great desire to get to the end in May, you have to play them Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona. I'm OK with the draw.

"I was told that there have been a lot of clashes between the two teams in several competitions.

"They're never boring games between these two big powerhouses of football. "Both teams like to play football and have players in their teams to play in an attacking way."
