Liverpool Reserves play their final game of the season when they take on Newcastle United at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington tonight – and you can watch the match live on LFC TV from 6.30pm. Kick-off is at 7pm.
Gary Ablett hoping his side can end the season on a high with a good performance and three points.
A Liverpool win will ensure that the second string will be guaranteed not to finish bottom of the Barclays Premier Reserve league. Bolton Wanderers have finished their league programme and the Reds are just two points behind the Trotters.
Ablett's side go into the match at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington full of confidence after winning the Liverpool Senior Cup on Monday after a 1-0 win over Waterloo Dock.
Back in November Liverpool drew 1-1 with Newcastle when Vincent Weijl scored a superb goal, and you can watch this game live on LFC TV from 6.30pm, which can also be viewed online.
"We are looking forward to it and hopefully we can end the season with a victory," Ablett told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"We played very well in the first half against Bolton and then in the second half when we won at Hull City. What we need to do is string that consistency together over 90 minutes which is what we haven't done for the majority of the season.
"I watched highlights of Newcastle's game with Manchester United last week when they drew 1-1. Newcastle scored an outstanding goal and we are expecting a very difficult game.
"It should be a good game of football and hopefully we can finish on a high."
Reflecting on the campaign overall, Ablett said: "If I was honest I would say it has been a disappointing season.
"Maybe we over achieved last season but this season our level of performance has been very up and down in the majority of the games."
A big positive for Ablett has been seeing the likes of Nabil El Zhar, Emiliano Insua, Jay Spearing and Stephen Darby getting first team opportunities.
"It is an achievement for those boys this season and they have deserved it," said Ablett.
"They have all got a chance because they have performed to a very consistent level for the reserves. It's an achievable target and hopefully next season we can get one or two more through."
