Steven Gerrard believes Fernando Torres will score against Inter Milan in Italy and send Liverpool into the Champions League quarter-finals.

Liverpool beat the Serie A leaders 2-0 in the first leg at Anfield and they appear to be on course for a place in the last eight.

"I would not swap him for any other striker anywhere" - Fernando Torres

Gerrard said: "We will be looking to hit them on the counter-attack and Torres plays that game better than anyone around.

"Not only can you stick the ball over the top and let him chase it, but he can make things happen himself like he did against Marseille earlier in the tournament, when we needed to win in France to go through to the last 16."

"He's brilliant, fantastic. I wouldn't swap him for any other striker anywhere.

"He has been massive for us and gives us so many different options up front. He's banging them in and always looks a threat every time he plays."
