Fiorentina's Mutu confident of overcoming Liverpool

Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu is confident his side can defeat English giants Liverpool in the Champions League tonight.

The Viola host the Reds at Stadio Artemi Franchi and Mutu believes that the team from Anfield are vulnerable these days.

"Once upon a time, beating Liverpool would be a famous win and you could make a fuss, but no more," he said.

"Since I have been in Florence, the team, the club and the whole environment have grown to the point where we can now beat anyone in our stadium."

Despite a opening group stage loss to Lyon, Fiorentina plan to play their own game against Liverpool who defeated Debrecen 1-0 in their opener.

"I am sure we will not make special plans for Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard, that is not our style," concluded Mutu.
