The Reds visit Eindhoven tomorrow for their Champions League group stage opener against PSV. Former PSV player Bolo Zenden is eagerly awaiting the game but has warned the Reds his old club will be no pushovers.

"They have a lot of dangerous players, although one of their best strikers, Vennegoor of Hesselink recently left to join Celtic," said the midfielder.

"The striker Kone, who is an Ivory Coast international, is a good player. Boffen is also among their better players, and perhaps Phillip Cocu is best known. He's probably their most experienced player.

"The Brazilians, goalkeeper Gomez and defender Alex are also impressive. They have a good side and they've dominated the Dutch league for the past four years and always seem to perform in Europe.

"I'm really looking forward to this game because I spent eight years at PSV, four in the youth team and four in the senior side. Iknow everyone there, but it's nine years since I left the club and I've never really had a proper chance to play there again.

"I've played in the stadium with the national team, but never against PSV."
