Daniel Agger will make his comeback from injury for the reserves at Manchester City on Tuesday night.
The Reds No.5 has been sidelined since pre-season with a back problem, but his return to fitness has given Rafa Benitez a major boost.
Swiss international Philipp Degen and David Ngog are also expected to feature for John McMahon's side at the City of Manchester Stadium (kick-off 7pm).
"It is fantastic to see Daniel back and it's a great boost for everyone at the club," McMahon told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"It's always great to see quality players come back from injury and this will be a perfect game for him to make his comeback.
"It's a fantastic stadium with a great pitch and it is always a fantastic boost for the young lads when they have a top professional like Daniel playing alongside them.
"The young lads look up to him and they can learn from him as well."
