THE MCG will be transformed into Reds heaven with a bumper Victorian soccer crowd of 95,000 set to cheer on Liverpool in their first ever match on Australian soil.

Fans today queued for hours to watch the English side trained at the MCG for the first time on the ever of their first game down under.

Tomorrow night’s friendly fixture between Liverpool and Melbourne Victory has attracted 10,000 interstate and overseas fans and is forecast to inject more than $10 million into the state economy.

Australian born and raised Liverpool legend Craig Johnston told Victory players the match would be ``the biggest game of their lives’’.

``Playing against Liverpool, they’ll remember it for as long as they live,’’ he said.

Johnston, born in Newcastle before starring for Liverpool in the 1980s, said he was even switching his allegiances to Melbourne for the occasion.

``For the first time in my life I would like Liverpool to get beat,’’ he said.

Liverpool faithful will march from Federation Square to the MCG in the lead-up to Wednesday night’s match which kicks off at 8pm.

Like many English tourists, Liverpool staff visited the set of Neighbours for a sneak peak of Ramsay St on Tuesday.

But the players will be the star attraction at a packed MCG.

Premier Denis Napthine said the success of the match could lead to Victoria hosting a similar match against a foreign team in Melbourne each year.

All proceeds of the training session will go to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital and the club’s Melbourne charity partner the Reagan Milstein Foundation.
