Liverpool Reserves boss John McMahon is hoping his young side can mount a successful defence of the Lancashire Senior Cup when they take on Manchester City tonight at Hyde United in the quarter-final.
Confidence in the camp is high after last week's 2-1 win over Sunderland at the Academy and the likes of Daniel Pacheco and Suso could be involved in the squad.
Last season's final was brought forward to the start of this campaign when McMahon's side produced an impressive performance to beat Oldham Athletic's first team 3-0.
With the weather at the end of 2010 causing havoc to the fixture list last week's game with the Black Cats was the second string's first game since November 23.
"Manchester City will be a good test for us and we need games now so we are looking forward to it," McMahon told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"The performance against Oldham's first team at the start of the season was very pleasing. We did really well and the young lads produced a great performance.
"The Lancashire Cup and Liverpool Senior Cup are important for us because it gives us extra games against good opposition which the young lads need."
