Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has told his team mates that they must treat the trip to Mansfield for the 3rd FA Cup tie as if it was the final.
The Reds travel to the One Call stadium on Sunday to face the side who are in the fifth tier of English football and Henderson knows that they will face a tough test.
"It'll be a tough game for us. It won't be a pushover. We will have to go there with the right mentality and do a good job," insisted the midfielder.
"It'll be different to what we're used to in the Premier League. But you always have different challenges in football. If we play like we are, then we can get a positive result.
"We'll have to adapt to the situation. I'm sure all the players will have played at small stadiums like that before, and it'll be a good atmosphere. It'll be noisy. We have to make sure we are on it from the very start and try to keep the home fans quiet.
"It'll be the biggest game for many of those Mansfield players. They'll be really up for it. It'll be a cup final for them, so we have to treat it as a cup final for us and do the job properly."
