Petr Cech believes Chelsea's squad strength will enable them to challenge for silverware at home and abroad.

Luiz Felipe Scolari's side currently lead the Premier League table and tackle fellow unbeaten title-challengers Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1.

Scolari was forced to make a host of injury-enforced changes for the trip to Middlesbrough last weekend, where the Blues turned in a stunning performance to romp to a 5-0 victory.

The Brazilian shuffled his pack again for the gritty 1-0 UEFA Champions League win over Roma as he welcomed Cech, Ricardo Carvalho and Deco into his starting XI.

And the Czech international goalkeeper knows that having sufficient strength in depth can only help the Blues challenge for glory.

Great quality

Cech told Sky Sports News: "It is really hard to say what the best first XI is because we showed in recent games that everyone in the squad has great quality and ability to play for Chelsea.

"In every game we used a different line-up because of the injuries and in every game we played brilliant football.

"It is great for the football club because we know that if you get some suspension or injuries you can cope with it easily."
