Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits he's in awe of Luis Suarez's determination.
Rodgers says Suarez's iron willpower will ensure he is Everton's tormentor-in-chief despite his marathon journey.
"I've been fortunate enough to work with some outstanding players character-wise, very strong ones, but I'd say no-one is stronger than Luis mentally," said Kop boss Rodgers.
"Certainly no-one with the will and that length of desire to actually play football. He's tough. It's his love of football - he loves playing and training.
"Of course he will be tired after the travel but he will be ready to play. That was the whole plan when we looked at it.
"He wanted to play when we looked at the Fulham game, the two qualifiers and against Everton. We sat down with a plan, because he was so keen to play.
"There was a lot of organising to ensure he could play, to assure their federation he would be out there at the time stipulated.
"Then the plan was to get him back with as much preparation time as we could."
