Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko is a big fan of Monday's opponents Liverpool.
Only Manuel Pellegrini's side outscored the Merseysiders in the Premier League, 102 to 101, meaning the stage is set for another epic encounter between two freewheeling teams.
"They played some amazing football last season and they were just behind us at the end of the season," Dzeko told City' website.
"Hopefully they can be behind us at the end of this season as well because they are a very good team with a great manager.
"They're a great club and they will come here and try to win but we're at home and I think we have an amazing team as well."
