Last updated : 21 January 2008 By Al Campbell
The Slovakian defender could make his debut against Aston Villa tonight and it's an appearance he's desperate to get under his belt.

"To be the first Slovak to play for Liverpool makes me very happy," said Skrtel.

"Not many Slovakian players have had the opportunity to play in the English league. I have and I will give it everything to succeed here.

"I can't wait to play at Anfield. The stadium is beautiful and Liverpool have got the best supporters in England, if not the world. I can't wait to play there for the first time."
