Virgil van Dijk insists Liverpool will not simply defend on their lead against Porto.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have a two-goal advantage to take into into Wednesday’s Champions League quarter final second leg at the Estadio do Dragao.
The reigning Portuguese champions suffered a 5-0 thrashing at home when they met the Reds in the last 16 of Europe’s elite club competition last season.
Sergio Conceicao has made Porto more resolute since then, but Van Dijk believes that Liverpool’s game plan will not be one of resting on their previous score line.
He said: “We know how tough it can be.
“Porto will probably still have the belief they should have, but we obviously believe we are going there to finish the job.
“We will play our game. We are not going to defend the 2-0.
“We want to attack and play like we have been playing all season…hopefully create chances to score a goal maybe two away goals, which will make it tough for them.”
