Paul Konchesky has revealed he will make his Liverpool debut in Jamie Carragher's testimonial against Everton on Saturday.

The former Fulham defender was Roy Hodgson's final signing before the end of the transfer deadline, and he is looking forward to stepping out at Anfield in a red shirt for the first time.

"I am looking forward to playing in Jamie's testimonial and it will be a great day for him," Konchesky told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"It will be nice to play in front of the Kop as a Liverpool player for the first time and it will help me get used to it and I can just go out and enjoy it."

Liverpool's new No.3 also spoke of his admiration for Carragher and how much he is looking forward to playing alongside him.

"I've got a lot of respect for Jamie and what he's achieved at this club," he added.

"He has been at Liverpool for a long while. For someone to do that, especially at this great club, you've got to have something about you.

"He's a great character and he is also someone you can look up to.

"If ever you need someone to look to and get advice then you should look up to Jamie. He's a great professional and he does everything how it should be done."
