Pep Segura is relishing tonight's final Barclays Premier Reserve League North encounter with Manchester United at Anfield - but has warned supporters not to expect a repeat of the U18s' recent 6-0 victory over their arch rivals.
Three points will guarantee the second-string a second-placed finish in their section.
"This is a good game to end our league season and I like to play against the big teams because it brings out the best in the players," Segura told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"They know they need to concentrate 100% at all times, play with focus and passion and keep up a good level of performance.
"It's fantastic for the players to get the experience of playing at Anfield again and we are all looking forward to it.
"For the U18s to win 6-0 against Manchester United was a fantastic result for the club, the supporters and the Academy, but we need to be realistic.
"In that game we played against a young United team and it was not the result you normally get against them.
"I always prefer to play against the strongest team our opponent can put out.
"I prefer to see us beat them 1-0 or 3-2, work hard and play with commitment and passion."
