Chelsea travel to Liverpool on February 1 to take on a team desperate to improve their home form and stay shoulder-to-shoulder with Manchester United in the title race.
The Blues are already in danger of falling behind due to their indifferent record at Stamford Bridge, a trend that began when Xabi Alonso's deflected strike doomed the Londoners to their first league loss at home since 2004.
And so Michael Ballack is eager to ramsack Merseyside next weekend and give Chelsea's Premier League campaign a much-needed jumpstart.
"We know it’s difficult to win at Anfield but it’s not impossible," the German international said in The Sun.
"If we want to go back to the top, we have to win but Wednesday is the immediate focus.
"We have dropped too many points at home and we have to be careful.
"We’ve not had good performance this year against the big teams. That has to change if we are to win the title."
Chelsea currently sit third in the standings, two points behind Liverpool and one ahead of fourth-placed Aston Villa.
