Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has stressed the need for his team to make their opponents feel the pressure while playing at Anfield.

The Brazilian, who joined the Reds last summer, has been impressed with the support his team receive while playing at their home ground.




And with the installation of the new Main Stand at Anfield, allowing the seating capacity to go up to 53,000, the striker insists that it has become even more special to go out there and enjoy the electric atmosphere.

Speaking about the responsibility of the players to do justice to the incredible home support, Firmino said that he and his team-mates have to make sure that they do all they can to make it tough for visiting teams at Anfield.
 


“Every time I play at Anfield, I like the atmosphere the supporters create”, Firmino told his club's official website.

“I get goose bumps when they sing – it really is incredible to play there.

“We have to keep in mind that we are at home and everyone who plays there against us should feel the pressure, so we must be focused on doing on our best in order to win.”

Pressure is what Jurgen Klopp's team will hope to create when Tony Pulis' West Brom side visit Anfield later today.
