LIVERPOOL resume their Europa League campaign next week and it has to be a good time to face Zenit Saint Petersburg.

It won’t be easy in the freezing conditions in Russia but Zenit haven’t played competitively since December due to their winter break.

I believe Liverpool will take full advantage. Our form has been good recently and over the two legs I expect us to get past them.

We are capable of getting a decent result over there and then finishing the job off at Anfield.

The Brazilian striker Hulk hasn’t been a great success since Zenit paid 55million euros for him last year but he is capable of causing problems and will need to be shackled closely.

I wasn’t that impressed by Anzhi in the group stage and they are ahead of third placed Zenit in the Russian League. That suggests to me that Liverpool will prove too strong.
