Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina hopes Andy Carroll makes his debut on Sunday against Manchester United.
Reina is expecting Carroll, who arrived at Anfield from Newcastle in January but has been kept on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury, to thrive on Merseyside.
He told liverpoolfc.tv: "I hope it turns out like we all think it will. He's a great player, a top striker and he will score a lot of goals for Liverpool.
"He has that physical condition. He is massive as a unit and a tough bloke to deal with. I know from my own experience how difficult it is to face these kinds of opponents."
