Liverpool have plenty of respect for Italian side AC Milan but the Premier League club will not be intimidated when the two European giants face-off in their Champions League opener at San Siro, head coach Arne Slot said on Monday.While Liverpool's transition from the Juergen Klopp era had appeared seamless when they began the season with three league wins without conceding a goal, they are now looking to put behind Saturday's stunning 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield.Eyeing a seventh European crown, standing in Liverpool's way are seven-times winners Milan.

The Italian side have not been in their best form in Serie A and are languishing mid-table with five points from four matches.

But Paulo Fonseca's side remains a formidable side."I don't think any manager is scared to play the other team but we have a lot of respect for AC Milan," Slot told reporters ahead of Tuesday's clash."They have quality, we're not scared, but we respect all their players.

They have shown that they are in good form, with a very good 4-0 win (against Venezia in Serie A on Saturday)."Scared is not the word we would use.
