Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez wants to end his feud with Chelsea's Jose Mourinho on Sunday.
Benitez will offer his hand at the end of Sunday's big Premiership clash at Stamford Bridge.
Benitez said: "If he wants to shake hands I don't have any problems with that. I will shake."
The pair have been at loggerheads ever since Liverpool beat Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals in May 2005 with a controversial Luis Garcia winner.
Benitez added: "I'll give him the opportunity to shake hands if he wants. We'll go down there and be his guests on Sunday. I prefer to talk about football than these small things.
"At the end of the game, I will wait and see if he offers his hand. If he does, then I'll shake it, not a problem.
"Normally, when a manager comes to Anfield and comes to see me, I'll welcome him and offer him all the best for the season.
"I've never spoken about his team so it's time to finish with this situation.
"People should be talking about football. We should be talking about things on the pitch, not matters off it."
