“We arrived with a very clear idea, and we produced the game we had to at that moment to beat that team that was getting very good results.“So to beat them 2-0 was very important, an important win for the club and the fans.“We enjoyed that day and hopefully we can replicate it on Sunday.“It’s not about frustrating Liverpool, it’s about playing our game. We know they are fighting for the title but for us every point is very important for the top four. It’s an important game.We know we’re going to play a very strong side, but first of all we need to keep the solidity that we’ve shown in the last games, and defend very well as a team because they are a big threat.“And if we take our chances, I think we’ve proved ourselves already this season when we won (2-1) in the League Cup (in August).“I think it’s a big game, and everyone’s looking forward to it.”
