Gent sit eighth in First Division A and adrift of the play-offs, where they need to finish to have a chance of securing Europa League qualification again.
Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s side showed signs of a return to form when they beat league leaders Club Brugge two weeks ago but then lost 1-0 at home to relegation battlers Eupen on Saturday.
“We are Gent and we are not afraid of anybody,” Vanhaezebrouck said.
“The game will be very difficult. We play against not only a team from the Premier League which is already an impressive league but secondly a team that is fighting to win the Premier League.
“They did maybe not the best thing losing to Liverpool but that can happen.
“It’s a team that plays very good football and has a lot of quality in every line. It will be a very hard task for us.”
