Winger Raheem Sterling has warned Besiktas that Liverpool will be playing their usual brand of attacking football when they visit the Ataturk Stadium on Thursday night.
The Reds face the Turkish side in the second-leg of their Europa League Last 32 clash, leading 1-0 thanks to Mario Balotelli's Anfield penalty. But despite holding the advantage, Brendan Rodgers' side will be looking for more goals in Istanbul, Sterling says.
"I think it’s going to be a really difficult game," said the 20-year-old. "Coming away to play in Turkey, it’s going to be difficult and we know that.
"We’ve got to stick to our gameplan that the manager has set out for us. That’s no different for tomorrow night," Sterling adds, knowing that if Liverpool can nick a goal, Slaven Bilic's side will require at least three to progress to the next round.
"We’ll be trying to play possession football and try to play really attacking football at the same time.
"I think it should be a really good game tomorrow and hopefully we can just play the football that we know we can play."
Sterling comes into the game having scored the decisive goal in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Southampton recently, which extended their impressive run of form. But his focus in Turkey will not be on his personal tally, he told reporters.
"It’s always nice to get on the scoresheet in the previous game, going into your next game," he said in a pre-match press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
"But I’m totally focused on trying to do my best tomorrow for the team and hopefully we can come away with a win."
Sterling has had the honour to play in a number of impressive grounds, including Real Madrid's Bernabeu earlier this season, since breaking through into the Liverpool first-team, but he is relishing the opportunity of playing in front of 72,000 Besiktas fans.
"The support in Turkey looks incredible," he said.
"It’s going to be a really exciting game tomorrow – for me personally as well, as I’ve always wanted to play in Turkey and see what the fans are like.
"Everyone says how amazing they are. People say: ‘You might get intimidated’ but I think the fans at Anfield are quite intimidating as well. So I don’t think it will be too different. But I’m really excited to play in Turkey."
The venue of Thursday's encounter is a familiar scene to Liverpool supporters, who watched their side win one of the most famous UEFA Champions League finals ever in the stadium back in 2005. But Sterling, who was merely 10 when the Reds lifted the trophy for the fifth time, says that he doesn't remember too much of it.
"I remember the Gerrard header but I can’t remember too much else," he said. "I think I must have watched it at home in Wembley."
The topic soon turned to his ongoing contract situation, which appears to have been stop-start for the last few months. Sterling did not reveal much, but said: "I speak to my representative every day and he has told me to just concentrate on playing football and him and the club will deal with it; that is the most important thing. I am concentrating on winning games for Liverpool and hopefully it will be done soon."
The 20-year-old did at least put Liverpool supporters who are worried Sterling may be looking at fresh pastures, as he added: "I don’t think there is a better place for young lads than Liverpool at this moment in time.
"The manager has blooded a lot of young players like myself and Jordon (Ibe). He puts you in at the deep end and it seems like at that moment you are ready. You look at Jordon against Everton, he was the best player on the pitch, which is credit to the manager as well. Every young player is getting a chance when they show they are working hard on the training pitch and that is credit to the manager for giving them the chance to shine at the highest level."
