Besiktas striker Demba Ba out to upset Liverpool in Europa League meeting

Besiktas striker Demba Ba hopes to upset Liverpool in the Europa League on Thursday following his title-crushing antics at Anfield for Chelsea last season.

Besiktas striker Demba Ba has claimed that he hopes to dampen Liverpool's Europa League hopes by scoring against them once again at Anfield.

Last season, the 29-year-old ruined the Reds' Premier League title hopes by scoring at Anfield for Chelsea after Steven Gerrard slipped and lost possession of the ball in a dangerous area.

Since then, Ba has moved on to Turkish side Besiktas, who paid around £5m for the striker's services, and hopes to cause trouble yet again on Merseyside.

"It is going to be a fun trip to Liverpool because I love playing in England," the Liverpool Echo quotes Ba as saying.

"The atmosphere at Anfield is going to be amazing as it always is. I did my job against Liverpool last season, Gerrard was just unlucky, I did what I had to and hope to do the same this time around."

Liverpool will host Besiktas in the last-32 first leg on Thursday evening.
