Netherlands coach Xavi wants his team to go out and enjoy themselves when they take on Germany, though he knows Jurgen Klopp's team will pose a huge challenge.
The Oranje turned in their best display under Xavi yet last time out, as they hammered Greece 7-0.
That victory sent the Netherlands to the top of Nations League Group A2 on 11 points, three better off than third-place Germany, who beat Serbia 3-1. Greece sit second, also on eight points.
With Germany and the Netherlands having drawn on MD1, it means the winner of Monday's game will go through to the quarter-finals, though a point for the Oranje would be enough.
If Germany win, then the Netherlands will still go through if Serbia avoid defeat against Greece.
And Xavi has asked his players to go out with the same level of enjoyment that they had during their rout of Greece on Friday.

"The players enjoyed themselves against Greece and they want to do that again against Germany," Xavi told reporters.
"I am so proud of them. I am convinced that they can be good again. We know how it should be done. We need to bring in even more continuity.
"Now that I am [the] coach, I feel the rivalry [with Germany]. That is why it is so important for us. It is a fantastic test."
Germany's win over Serbia was just their second victory under Jurgen Klopp, who is out to avoid an underwhelming start to his tenure.
"It is difficult to surprise other coaches, and certainly Jurgen Klopp. He is one of the best coaches of recent years," Xavi said.
"It will be a big challenge. They have to win. It is a big test."
The Netherlands have not won any of their last five meetings against Germany, with their last victory coming in a Euro 2020 qualifier in September 2019 (4-2).
