Czech striker Milan Baros has been included in tonight's squad to face Birmingham City.
Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier is preparing the youngster for Premiership action but admits patience is the key.
"Since the summer he has done extremely well and he's showed to my staff why I signed him. He is young and he's improving," said the boss.
"He's not the finished article but he seems to have the quality to play in the Premiership. Young players have to be patient and we have to be patient with them."
