"We know Arsenal are a very good team who play good football and it will be a tough game for sure but we are playing well and I have confidence," Benitez told the club's official website.
"Maybe we can use some young players in the squad but I will be selecting an experienced team because they are a good team with good players and we need to be careful.
"I remember when we beat them 2-1 at Anfield when Neil Mellor scored the winning goal and we played very well and at a high tempo. I think this could be a similar game and I would like to see us play at the same level as we did that day."
