Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is keen to see Jack Wilshere against Barcelona this week.
Wilshere is expected to start for Arsenal against Barca in their Champions League tie.
Dalglish wrote in his column for the Mail on Sunday: "I'll be interested to see how Jack Wilshere does in such exalted company after his impressive performance for England against Denmark. Fabio Capello used him as a holding midfield player, which isn't his best position, but that doesn't mean his long-term England future is there.
"It was a nice way of getting him involved in international football in a position where he would get a bit more time and space on the ball.
"He wasn't in the firing line further up the pitch and as an experiment it served its purpose as it allowed him to get a feel for what it's like to play for England at the right pace. Wenger doesn't use him like that.
"Long-term, Wilshere will be best served in a rotating midfield - there is no need to tie him down as a holding midfielder. Arsenal can use Alex Song or Abou Diaby in that role and let Wilshere and Fabregas play.
"Nothing fazes Wilshere and coming up against Barcelona will be a terrific education. He will face three guys of similar physical stature to himself - Messi, Xavi and Iniesta - and it will emphasise again that you don't have to be 6ft 4in and built like Arnold Schwarzenegger to flourish in the modern game."
