We get to play a super-strong team; we play a team that played an exceptional last season and coming back is even better than last season. It's great, great to have them, great to meet them. We met quite frequently, obviously, and it's good but we have to make sure we make it a proper home game, a proper Anfield experience. That's all I want."
