Everton boss Rafa Benitez says they go to Old Trafford today as underdogs against Manchester United.
Everton will be without a number of key players - including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison, Seamus Coleman and Andre Gomes.
So, while Benitez knows there is a chance for his side to make a statement with a strong result this weekend, he is also aware that it won't be an easy task.
"Obviously it will be an opportunity, but we cannot forget we have some issues with injuries and key players," the Spaniard insisted.
"We are not at the level maybe that we can be in a few months. We have players coming back from injuries and if we continue working the way we are now, I think we can be a much better team.
"It doesn't mean we will not go there with the idea to get three points, we will. I have a lot of confidence in this group of players.
"But we are missing some key players. If you talk about any top side, as soon as they are missing one big name, it's talked about. For us, it's even more important.
"When we are missing one or two the team has some issues, but still we have confidence we can do well."
Everton will be looking for their first victory at Old Trafford since 2013, and only their second win at the stadium in 29 years, when they line up against United on Saturday.
And Benitez wants his side to play with the confidence they have already shown at stages throughout 2021/22 so far.
The boss remarked: "Every year is different, every season is different. What I want to be sure is that our team will go there with confidence to get a result.
"Why can't many teams win there? Because they have a very good team, very good players, a great atmosphere. It's not easy for anyone when you play against a top side.
"For us, it's to be sure we go there with the belief that we can do it, and with confidence to play in the way we have been playing to be sure we can give an extra push.
"If not, it will be very difficult to get something there."
