Braga midfielder Hugo Viana has warned Liverpool that the Portuguese side will be able to handle the pressure generated by playing in front of a packed Anfield and advance to the Europa League quarter-finals.

The Portuguese side take a precious one-goal lead to England tonight and for Liverpool, with the Europa League representing their only chance of silverware this season, minds have been concentrated on the task of overturning the deficit and advancing.

But Viana, who has experience of the Premier League through an earlier spell with Newcastle United, warns that Braga will not be easily intimidated.

"We know that the Liverpool game will be completely different.

"Although it is a different arena, Anfield has a climate that can motivate any player. But I think we can contain the pressure and reach the quarter-finals."
