The Icelandic midfielder was given the skipper's armband by John McMahon and gave an assured display alongside the club captain.

"It was a fantastic experience for me to play alongside Steven who is one of the best midfielders in the world," Palsson told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"I was a little bit nervous playing alongside Steven, especially with me being made captain. I asked him if he wanted the armband but he told me to take it and enjoy it.

"He was talking to me throughout the game and I enjoyed it. It was just great to play alongside him.

"Being captain carries a big responsibility but I enjoyed it and hopefully I can continue this season."

The Icelandic youth international is heading into his first full season as a Liverpool player since arriving at Anfield from Danish outfit AGF Arhus in January.

He has settled in well to life in England and is sure to be a key player for the reserve team this season.

"I like Liverpool, it's a great city and just a fantastic experience to play for this club," he added.

"I can't wait for the start of the season now and hopefully we can have a good campaign."
