"They're an aggressive team, they're doing well. We beat them at home last season but at Anfield we weren't able to play well enough to beat them. They were better than us, in my opinion.

"But we'll try again, knowing that they have a very good squad but we will go with 100 per cent, so we can try to get the three points. We hope we can finish that (unbeaten) run."
