Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is looking forward to taking his team to Liverpool on Sunday.
It will be Ten Hag's coaching debut at Anfield.
He said, "I have been to Anfield. I am looking forward to it. I know the ambience and the atmosphere will be great. It will be hostile against us - we like it.
"It is of course a test to be facing Liverpool but we are really looking forward to it.
"We know these players - my squad, my team - will be prepared to go with fight and confidence. We know it is going to be difficult. We know we have to suffer. We have to sacrifice to get a good result."
Ten Hag also said: "Liverpool has really good management, with a really good way of playing, good philosophy and good strategy. So no, I don't think so. But we are not talking about other clubs. We are talking about us. I think we are going in a good direction with our philosophy, strategy and culture. We have to keep progressing - it is all about that.
"It is about the future, it is about now. We face a fantastic opponent and we are looking forward, so it is all about us getting the right preparation to be ready for that game."
On going to Anfield, he added: "I think, away from home, we have had some really good performances.
"For me it is no different. The pitch everywhere is the same size. There are the same number of referees. The ball is round. There is air in the ball. So we have to play and to make it our game.
"Of course, we know the ambience will not be supporting us. You have to deal with that but, as I said, our players like it. They like to play in this atmosphere."
