"I will ring him and tell him Liverpool are going to win when we play at Arsenal," said Kuyt, albeit tounge in cheek.
"I played one season with him in the Dutch league. He is growing a lot as a player as well as a human being.
"I will talk to van Persie, he's a friend from the Dutch squad and we also were in the same team together at Feyenoord before he moved to Arsenal. It will be nice to see him and to beat him!
"After four home wins and the cup victory we have lots more confidence now, we just want to see how well we can play at Arsenal, we need to win."
