Manuel da Costa is keen to bury his memories his UEFA Champions League heartache when West Ham United head to Liverpool.
The Portuguese defender was part of the PSV Eindhoven side beaten 2-0 at Anfield in the group stage of European club football's most prestigious competition in November 2006.
Five months later Da Costa was back on Merseyside as PSV, who had knocked out Arsenal in the previous round, were beaten 4-0 on aggregate by the Reds in the quarter-finals of the same tournament.
Three years on, the 23-year-old is determined to gain revenge for those results in Monday's Barclays Premier League showdown, allowing him to taste victory over Liverpool at the fifth attempt in the process.
"We played against Arsenal and after that, we played at Liverpool. That was very hard. They were a very strong team and it was difficult for PSV. At the time, we were not doing very well in Holland - we were 15 points off the top of the table and had not won in four games when we played the first game at home.
"It was difficult because we were playing against a big team. I remember we lost 3-0 and then we went to Anfield. It's not every week that you go to Liverpool and win, and we lost the second leg 1-0, but I was on the bench."
As a youngster growing up in the suburbs of the city of Nancy in north east France, Da Costa remembers seeing footage of the great Liverpool sides of the 1970s and 1980s.
While the Reds have fallen some way from those lofty heights, the centre-back believes they will rise again - but not until after Monday night's encounter.
"I respect them as a team. I remember when I was a child, I saw videos and Liverpool was a big team. They may have gone down a little bit, but they are historically a big team. They are now starting to come back with a new story.
"Now, when all the players speak about Liverpool, they say they are a big team, but I am going there to win. You respect them for their history and as a big team before and the game, but when you play, you don't respect them."
