Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists he has no problem with Chelsea striker Diego Costa.
Rodgers was critical of Costa's alleged stamping during Liverpool's Capital One Cup defeat in midweek.
"There is no needle," said the Reds' boss. "I said how good my team was. I made some points that are relevant. The most important thing was my team returning to form.
"I don't want to talk too much about Costa. We were interested in him, he is an outstanding footballer. They all have an edge and you just hope that they don't over step the mark with their behaviour. But he is a wonderful player and that is all I need to say on it."
