Cech believes the Reds need to prove themselves following their poor start tot he season.
“If they really want to show that they want to compete for finishing in the top four then they need to start winning games and winning games against the strong teams,” Cech told the Daily Telegraph.
“They have the first possibility against us but we go there top of the league and we want to be in the same position after the game.”
Cech added: “They still have a very good squad and they still have the qualities to challenge for fourth or to finish in the top four.
“Of course, when you have such a bad start to the season everything becomes more difficult and they will have to chase all the way.”
