Liverpool play their first match of 2012 when they travel to Manchester City on Tuesday night.
The Reds will aim to get the New Year off to the best possible start by becoming the first team to take points off Roberto Mancini's men at the Etihad Stadium this season.
In November, Liverpool and City played out a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
The two teams will meet again on two further occasions this month in the Carling Cup semi-final.
