Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is happy for fit-again Fabio Borini to be challenging Danny Sturridge for a start.
The 23-year-old Italian renews his battle for a starting place with Sturridge that goes back to the pair's time together at Chelsea.
Borini said: "There was some rivalry for the position, like every team has, but we are good friends too.
"You have to fight for your place all the time, even in life.
"It is a big chance for us because we always waited for this chance to be part of a big project at a big club."
