Liverpool play host to Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday as they look to secure Champions League qualification and Joe Cole has picked who is the bigger clubJoe Cole may have spent the bulk of his playing days at Chelsea but he once described Liverpool as the "biggest club in the country." The 44-year-old winger emerged through West Ham's academy in 1998 before transferring to west London in 2003.There, Cole carved out his legacy with three Premier League crowns and four domestic trophies, accumulating 39 goals and 47 assists across 282 outings. I have played in London all my life."I could have stayed at Chelsea because the fans loved me and I won things, but I wanted to challenge myself and when I knew Liverpool were interested it was a no-brainer because they are the biggest club in the country."Speaking about his new team-mates, Cole continued: "I am excited about playing with Fernando [Torres] and obviously I know Stevie [Gerrard], Carra [ Jamie Carragher ] and Jonno [Glen Johnson] from the England set-up.

He revealed in 2013: "When I joined, the guy interviewing me said, 'you've joined the biggest club in the country' and reeled off the trophies they'd won."I just said, 'yeah, if you put it like that, I suppose you're right' and Liverpool used that as the headline to the interview.

I didn't want to upset anyone so I just went along with it."But obviously they're not the biggest club in the country any more. Nottingham Forest won the European Cup twice but they're not a bigger club than Chelsea."Cole will no doubt have one eye on Liverpool's clash with Chelsea at Anfield this Saturday at 12.30pm.
