'Reds will have to be at their best'

Pennant: Reds ready for Inter test March 11 2008

Jermaine Pennant wants Liverpool to follow one of his former clubs Arsenal into the Champions League quarter-finals.

The Gunners qualified for the last eight along with Manchester United and Chelsea last week.

Now the 25-year-old winger hopes to be a key member of a Reds' side aiming to become the fourth English side to make the quarter-finals when they take on Inter Milan.

The Merseyside club are 2-0 ahead from the first leg, and Pennant said: "It was a great result and performance from Arsenal last week to get to the quarter-finals, and I hope that Liverpool can do the same.

"This is a huge game for us, a very tough test. Inter are a quality team and we will have to be at our best."

Arsenal beat the defending champions last week in this same San Siro stadium, and Pennant wants Liverpool to follow suit.

He said: "It shows how strong the Premier League is. We see top world stars performing in it every week, they are all very good players with great teams. I am not surprised the English top four have done so well."
