Jamie Carragher is banking on struggling Liverpool to rise to the occasion when they face Champions League opponents Inter Milan this week.

He said: "This is what I love, playing against the best players about and that is what we have got to look forward to against Inter.

"They look like running away with their title and are keen to win this trophy after watching AC Milan do that against us last season.

"It will be a big test for us, and we will have to up our game a level or two to get through.

"But the league has gone for us now and this is one of the last two trophies we can win this term, so bring it on. Making a good start in the tie at home, though, is crucial."
