Alonso stresses importance of victory tomorrow

Xabi is expecting more of the same against Chelsea in the Premiership. He is hoping this time though we can get on the scoresheet:

"It is important to try to win on Sunday and score one goal at least. Wednesday gave us the confidence to go and try to get a result.
"It will be quite a similar game. Crouch played well against two strong centre-backs in Carvalho and Terry. He gave us the chance to go forward.
"He is important to us, trying to get forward and he does very well. We hoped to win all the home games in the Champions League and I think we deserved to win.
"We did more than them in attack and they were waiting in the second-half for a counter attack. They were more happy than us with a draw. We are going to approach Sunday in the same way."

Hopefully Xabi will be continue from where he left off on Wednesday controlling the midfield area and dictating the pace of the game.
