“The positive side about that game is we were better than the game before," said Vieira. "There's still a need to improve but I always say, with the squad we have, we can perform in the Premier League. I think we have a team that allows us to compete in every single game.

“It's always good to win games because that will give you more confidence and belief about what we try to do and the game we want to play. We had a good game, yes, but can we repeat this kind of performance? This is our challenge."

Vieira added: "Going to Anfield is going to be really challenging but there is no fear, there is excitement of playing one of the best sides in Europe. It's going to be challenging, difficult, but we're really looking forward to the game because we want to challenge ourselves against those teams.

"I think you are talking about one of the greatest teams in Europe, not just in the Premier League. If you look at Liverpool's record in the last couple of years it's up there with the best. We know their strength, what their front players are capable of doing. We know them well. We can't be surprised by the way they're performing week in, week out.

"We just have to go on the field and perform, and give them problems, because there are also sides we can exploit. To exploit it we must be brave, and go there thinking we can get something from the game. If we go there thinking about defending for 90 minutes, they will score goals because they have the ability to do that. We need 100% belief and confidence."
