Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini is not fooled by Liverpool's poor run of form. Liverpool lost to Barnsley in the FA Cup at the weekend, and Mancini feels they were looking ahead to the Champions League match with Internazionale.
"I am not fooled by Liverpool's form in the Premier League. Or in cup competitions, where they rest their top players," Mancini told The Sun.
"I saw them held to a draw at home to Aston Villa and no, they were not at their best. But that is not the Liverpool I expect to see when we play at Anfield.
"I expect to see the Liverpool of old, the Liverpool that have contested two of the last three Champions League finals, the Liverpool that gave us the greatest final ever in Istanbul against AC Milan. After which, every Inter supporter went out a bought a Liverpool shirt.
"Everyone knows Liverpool, with their history and tradition, are a different team in the Champions League. European nights lift this famous club.
"It is in their blood. They respond - and their supporters respond with them.
"That is why we will have to produce an incredible performance at Anfield. We may have a fantastic record in Serie A but that doesn't mean anything when you come to big European nights."
