Woodman is expected to start in-between the posts for The Reds against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night in what will be his full debut for the club.
The 28-year-old joined the Premier League champions on a free transfer from Preston North End in the summer, having spent three seasons with the Championship side and manager Arne Slot and his staff felt a move for him was necessary given the departure of Caoimhin Kelleher.
Woodman came close to not joining Liverpool
The Reds were runners-up in last year’s Carabao Cup, losing 2-1 to Newcastle at Wembley, and will hope that Woodman as well as fellow summer signing Giorgi Mamardashvili can help the side all the way once more.
However, Woodman was close to not joining the side, as revealed this week when he spoke to the club website about the options that were in front of him at the time.
"Any time I get to pull on the jersey for this club, whether it be a pre-season game or whatever competition, I’ll always just try to do my best and enjoy the moment.
"I’ve spent a lot of time playing in the Championship so to play for a club with this history is pretty special.
“I wanted to keep playing and I’m only 28, but there was a conversation in the summer where Liverpool came up. I had other options but my dad said to me, ‘How do you turn down Liverpool? You just can’t do it'. I’m very happy with my decision."
Woodman wants to replicate Kelleher's success
He then revealed that the club still has pictures of Kelleher’s and his heroics in the 2022 and 2024 Carabao Cup wins hung up around the AXA and how he wants to replicate that success.
“It’s clear that this club takes the competition seriously, like it does every competition," said Woodman. "When you get to the latter stages, you go to Wembley and you see how important it is to the fans.
“We train in the goalkeeping area at the AXA Training Centre and I regularly see the photo of Caoimhin Kelleher on the wall after his success in the recent finals, and that’s how important it is. You can really write yourself into history if you win trophies at this club."
