Milan Baros says Liverpool can beat Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the Champions League - despite the absence of Fernando Morientes from the Reds' attack.
With Morientes cup-tied, Florent Sinama-Pongolle also out and Neil Mellor a major doubt that leaves Baros as the only fit recognised striker at Rafael Benitez's disposal for the game.
Baros says he thrives on the responsibility and is looking forward to the game as he tells us in this exclusive video interview you can watch online.
Baros told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I know Fernando can't play and Sinama-Pongolle and Mellor are injured so it will probably be me playing up front on my own, but I am confident we can do it. I think the boss will have something planned and maybe someone else will play with me.
"It's the last 16 and it is a massive game. I think we can beat them and go through but it's going to be difficult as they have played well in the Champions League this season and in the qualifier they beat my former club Banik Ostrava. It would be nice to score the goals to take Liverpool through as I always want to score goals."
