Dalglish ponders trio debuts
Kenny Dalglish is still debating whether to hand summer signings Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson and Alexander Doni their debuts against Hull City on Saturday - a game you can watch exclusively live on this website.
Henderson was in U21 action with England this summer and so sat out our tour of Asia last week, while Doni and Downing did not complete their moves in time to travel to the Far East.
Coverage of tomorrow's friendly begins at 2.30pm BST on LFCTV Online and there is a chance fans will see all three players take part.
"We will have a look at them and decide what's best," Dalglish said. "There is certainly no rush for us to play anyone in these pre-season games.
"Stewart has been training for a fortnight and Jordan only started training on Monday.
"Everyone has trained well this week and the players are looking in good shape. Nowadays they come back looking as fit as they were before the break.
"But some have started back later than others and we have to take that into consideration.
"It's a pre-season game and we will treat it as such. We need to use these games to give as much benefit to as many players as we can.
"I'm not sure what the ruling will be in terms of the number of subs we can use. But we will certainly use up our full quota and field as many as possible."
Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel and Fabio Aurelio also missed the tour through injury, while Pepe Reina (hernia) and Steven Gerrard (groin) are still returning to 100 per cent fitness after operations.
"There are a few knocks but they shouldn't take too long to clear," Dalglish added. "We're certainly not going to take any risks with anyone at this stage. We don't want to spoil anyone's chances of being fit for the first game of the season.
"We've got plenty of games coming up with the trips to Turkey and Norway after Hull."
