He said:"We have the difficulty of having to travel to Anfield, which is one of the most difficult grounds in Europe to play at. We've achieved some important wins at some of Europe's great grounds in the past and we are aiming to do that again."
Irureta also admitted that Liverpool will have the added advantage of knowing the Deportivo side due to Benitez' experience in Spain.
"They start with a bit of an advantage because their coach has a comprehensive knowledge of our team and knows us better than we know them," he added.
