Carson, who moved to the Hawthorns in a £3.25m deal this summer after three frustrating years at Anfield, knows just what to expect from his old team and that his task will be even tougher if Fernando Torres is fit to play.
“Torres is a world-class striker and as a player you want to operate against the best,” said Carson.
“I would like to see him play and hopefully I can play well and prevent him from scoring.
“Tony Mowbray has been working on the shape of our team and hopefully we can click and be stronger at the back after conceding a few goals in our recent games.
“Hopefully I can go there and have a good game. If Torres plays it just means that I have to be even more on my toes.
“If we can go to Anfield and frustrate them for as long as we can who knows what the result will be.
“It would be great to get a point and give us a lot of confidence for the following game against Chelsea.
“I don’t know what kind of reception I will get from the Liverpool fans.
“I have no hard feelings about Liverpool. I never really had a chance to prove what I could do at Anfield, but it was a great learning curve for me.”
Albion’s aim for the season is survival, but Liverpool have far loftier ambitions and Carson expects them to sustain their challenge for the league title.
He said: “Liverpool are now playing really well. Going to Chelsea and winning proves they will be one of the title challengers. The likes of Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher are desperate to have a crack at the title.”
