The Reds have already qualified for the knockout round while FC Utrecht failed to make it.
However, the Dutch side will still be playing for pride tomorrow night at Anfield.
Liverpool are still expected to play a fairly strong team, including Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina.
Manager Roy Hodgson told Liverpoolfc.tv today, “Pepe Reina likes to play. He would like to play in this one and I'm not going to be the one who says to him, 'You want to play, so you don't play.’ “
A few reserve players will also be given their chance to shine.
Hodgson continued about the reserves, “It is a good chance to give some players a run out. It's a good chance for Jonjo (Shelvey) to show what he can do again. He's played a lot of European games and done very well.”
Utrecht are also expected to play a strong squad.
The teams first met in Holland late September that ended in a 0-0 draw.
The match kicks off at 8:05pm and will be shown live on channel Five. Tickets are currently on sale for £20 for adults and children 16 and under go free with any adult ticket purchased.
