The Arsenal boss sees the challenge as totally different to the one posed by Milan in the last round, but one his side is well capable of dealing with.
"Liverpool will be a different opponent. Liverpool will be more rough, more edgy and difficult to penetrate," Wenger said.
"Milan was a confrontation of two similar styles where we were better. Against Liverpool we will have to win the physical battle as well. Against Milan we were almost guaranteed to win the physical battle.
"Against an English team, the competition is always different. You come back to a formula where the mental strengths of the two teams will make all the difference in the game.
"We know each other well. The players who can turn a game have to turn up on the night.
"When you play a local team in the European Cup it is a test of character. We know we can do it, but who wants it the most?
"I believe we have that character and the discipline is linked with the importance of the away goal and how long you can keep the discipline in the games."
