Aston Villa manager Dean Smith says they need to be physical against Liverpool on Sunday.
In last season's corresponding fixture, the Midlanders were 1-0 up before the Reds came back for a late 2-1 win.
Smith said, "Everybody is beatable on the day. We've just got beaten by a Championship team, so that proves everybody is beatable.
"Their cumulative record over the past two seasons is incredible with the points tally that they've got.
"Them and Manchester City have been way out ahead of everybody over the last two years.
"It will be a really tough game and they've had a good start to the season, but there's no reason why we can't feel that we're more athletic and robust than the team that faced them last season."
