Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expects an intense clash with Atletico Madrid tomorrow.
The Reds host Atletico in their latest Champions League group tie.
Klopp said: "A similar intensity. Atletico never played a friendly game since Diego [Simeone] has been there and the situation in the group sets the level.
"It is clear Atletico will need three points and we want to win the game at home. It feels like a long time since we played a home game in the Champions League, which was against AC Milan five weeks ago.
"We were so happy we qualified for the Champions League because we knew we would have nights like this at Anfield. Now it is coming and we should celebrate it in a football way with our supporters. Atleti are an incredibly good team but we will give it a try."
On their injuries, Klopp also said: "Naby [Keita] has a hamstring injury and will be out for a while, and apart from that, [James] Milner is clear [hamstring].
"Fabinho and Thiago trained completely normal and are in contention, which is good and very helpful.
"Injuries at this period of the season are completely normal, as long as they are not too harsh, and we have to accept that. Those players will be back hopefully soon and then they will be in contention."
