Liverpool Reserves are in action tonight when they take part in the prestigious Terborg U20 tournament in Holland.
Gary Ablett's team play Lucas Leiva's former club Gremio and Ajax before taking on PSV Eindhoven and the Egypt national team on Saturday.
The tournament is unusual in that it includes club sides and international teams.
Matches are played on a 20 minutes each way basis and two teams in each group go through to the semi-finals.
The other group contains Valencia, Feyenoord, the Australia national team, Atletico Mineiro and De Graafschaf.
The remaining sides will face the corresponding team in the other group to determine fifth to 10th overall positions in the tournament.
The Liverpool squad travelling to Holland is: Peter Gulacsi, Chris Oldfield, Stephen Darby, Mikel San Jose, Ronald Huth, Emmanuel Mendy, Jay Spearing, Victor Palsson, Andras Simon, Gerardo Bruna, Krisztian Nemeth, Vincent Weijl, Nikola Saric, Vitor Flora.
Ablett believes the tournament is of great benefit to his squad and told Liverpoolfc.tv: "We are looking forward to it. It is a prestigious tournament and there are some very good teams in it.
"It's good to take the lads into a different environment and it will be a good test for us.
"We want to do as well as we can and give a really good account of ourselves."
