Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his players will enjoy the atmosphere at Liverpool on Sunday.
City had picked up just one point from Guardiola's four Premier League visits before thumping Jurgen Klopp's side 4-1 last February – the club's first victory there since May 2003.
The City manager believes his players can use a capacity crowd to help an occasion that pits two of the title favourites against each other.
"I'm very pleased Anfield is full again and we can go there to play a game," Guardiola said. "It's nice that the people are back and we can enjoy a fantastic atmosphere there.
"Hopefully we can handle it in a good way. I'm pretty sure the players would prefer to play with fans at Anfield than without. Everything is more alive, it's more difficult. I don't know the reasons why we didn't win at Anfield over the 18 years.
"Over my five years, it was because they are an exceptional team. The crowd helps of course, like in Paris it did. They were supporting even when we were dominating parts of the game. That happens. Even in Germany when we went to Dortmund – or Barcelona in Madrid – the crowd pushes a lot."
