Nuno Espirito Santo acknowledges the "big challenge" Wolves face against Liverpool on Friday Night Football, but insists they prepare for all games in the same way.
Wolves host Jurgen Klopp's side, live on Sky Sports Premier League, following wins against Bournemouth, Newcastle and Chelsea, which have left them seventh in the table.
Nuno wants his players to continue their positive approach to games when they face an unbeaten Liverpool side, and says they treat all opponents the same.
"I see it as a big challenge for us," he said. "[We] always focus on what you want to do on the pitch, that's what is important, don't live on desire.
"It's easier to work with a smile. The players are happy so I hope they continue the same approach in the game with a smile on their faces, knowing their tasks and responsibilities."
