"Liverpool are absolutely dominant, leading the Premier League and the Champions League. It's a historic match - a game to enjoy, but also to compete in. In football, anything can happen.
"I want us to be aggressive with and without the ball, to have the mindset to recover as quickly as possible. We want to get the crowd excited from minute one.
"They are a very, very hard team to stop. But with our excitement and motivation for this game, we cannot let the opportunity pass."
