Forget Chelsea We're concentrating on the League

Rafa is keeping to his prinicipals of focussing only on the next game. He had this to say on Liverpoolfc.tv:
"We are not thinking about Chelsea and the only concern is getting three points at Birmingham. "We know Birmingham have lost their three home games so far but they are a good team and it is not an easy place to go and get a result. We are training well, confident and I think we will start scoring goals soon. "We have bad memories of our visit to Birmingham last season when we lost 2-0 but now we have a better team and a stronger squad this time."
I think the team selection will give us an indication on how seriously the Chelsea game is being taken. Rafa always likes to use the old adage of taking things game by game but I'm sure he is really looking at the bigger picture.
