Blues expect backlash

Last Updated : 23-Jan-2007 by
Liverpool's next home game is against Everton and Blues midfielder Mikel Arteta is expecting a difficult game as the Reds seek to avenge their 3-0 defeat in the Goodison game.

"The last time we played against them we had a fantastic result, but we know it's going to be a hard game this time around because I think we will have made them angry," said the Spaniard.

"We'll have to respect them so much because they are a great side who are on a great run at home, conceding just three goals in the league all season.

"They make it very difficult for sides at home, but we have two weeks to talk about it, work on things and we will see what we can do to get a result.

"We'll be positive, believing we can beat them, and try to do the right things at the right moments. We know on our day we can beat anyone."
