Steven Gerrard is tipping Fernando Torres to propel Liverpool to the UEFA Champions League final.
Liverpool head into next Wednesday's semi-final second leg at Chelsea aware that they must score to stand any chance of progressing.
John Arne Riise's injury-time error handed The Blues a priceless away goal, cancelling out Dirk Kuyt's first-half opener.
But Gerrard is adamant Torres can end Liverpool's dreadful Stamford Bridge record of not scoring in their previous eight visits.
"We may not have scored or won at Chelsea in four years, but we haven't been there with Fernando in the team before," said Gerrard.
Problems
"Even the two games there this season, the league draw and the Carling Cup defeat, Fernando wasn't playing.
"Chelsea know they will be in for a tough time next week, there may be a little more space for Fernando, and I don't hear any of their players thinking it's all over.
"Torres can cause any defence problems. You saw that in the first leg. He was very disappointed not to score.
"We've been to Inter Milan and Arsenal in this season's run and scored. So I can't see why we cannot score at Stamford Bridge."
