Liverpool have a 2-0 advantage to protect in the second leg of their Europa League tie against Rabotnicki.
Talk of a takeover at Anfield has dominated the headlines since David Ngog's brace carried the Reds to a comfortable victory in Macedonia last week.
But new manager Roy Hodgson will have kept his players focused on the task at hand and he will be confident of finishing off spirited but limited opponents.
Hodgson will have a significantly stronger squad at his disposal for the clash at Anfield after deciding not to risk many of his World Cup stars for the first leg.
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Glen Johnson could all feature, while Joe Cole is in line to make his first competitive appearance after his summer arrival from Chelsea.
The Reds are still without Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel following their World Cup exploits for finalists Spain and Holland, while Javier Mascherano will not feature as the Argentine appears to edge closer to leaving the club.
The game should nevertheless provide more of an indication as to the formation that Hodgson plans to adopt this season.
As well as looking for a professional performance, the former Fulham boss will want his players to improve their sharpness and avoid injury ahead of the new Premier League campaign, which kicks off for Liverpool against Arsenal a week on Sunday.

Rabotnicki news

Rabotnicki cannot be counted out completely but will rue not getting a better result at home against a weakened Liverpool XI.
Manager Zoran Stratev is unlikely to make many changes to the Rabotnicki side that took to the field in Skopje, but already seems resigned to his team's fate.
"Macedonian football is at this level and I don't think we can do any more - but our fans may hope for something special in the match," he said.
The winners of the tie progress to a play-off round later this month before the group phase begins in September.
