Liverpool manager is hoping that new acquisitions Alberto Aquilani and Glen Johnson can fit into the scheme nicely and come out with a strong game against Tottenham. The live Liverpool game should give them a good idea of where they will stand this year and they could stamp their status as a top contender with a convincing win. Eyes will be on Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres as they try to bring the team to glory and have a big impact in the opening game.

Tottenham centre-back Sebastien Bassong is set to make his debut.

Bassong is expected to partner Ledley King as Jonathan Woodgate is recovering from groin surgery and Michael Dawson is ruled out with an Achilles injury.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez will monitor Steven Gerrard's fitness ahead of the Barclays Premier League match against Tottenham on Sunday.

Gerrard sat out England's draw against Holland in midweek after suffering a groin injury.
