David Moyes says Liverpool and not Everton will dole out the aggressive stuff in Saturday's Merseyside derby.
The famous fixture has seen 16 red cards distributed during the Premier League era - more than any other match.
And despite Everton having received 10 of those - including the dismissals of both Tony Hibbert and Phil Neville during Liverpool's turbulent 2-1 win last season - Moyes believes Rafael Benitez's side will be the more physical side on Saturday.
The Everton manager used the recent comments of Sir Alex Ferguson following Manchester United's 2-1 defeat at Anfield earlier this month as justification for his claim.
Ferguson claimed his side were outmuscled after Liverpool came from a goal down to beat his team and give Benitez his first win over United as Liverpool manager.
Moyes has backed up his fellow Scot and accused Liverpool of "crying" foul over Everton's style of play when it is in fact they who look to get more "stuck in".
He said: "They have been games that have been hotly contested and I am sure this one will be as well.
