MELBOURNE Victory will aim to please an expected crowd of 95,000 at the MCG for Wednesday's clash with Liverpool.

Leigh Broxham said an undermanned Victory will not "park the bus'' in hope of limiting the damage against the European giants.

Instead it will play it's normal passing game combined with a more compact style when in defence, as Broxham said it demonstrated throughout the 1-0 friendly win against Victorian Premier League side Port Melbourne on Tuesday night.
"It was a step in the right direction,'' midfielder Broxham said.
"We tweaked our game plan slightly for the game against Liverpool and we obviously need to do that with the personnel we've got with the boys being away with the national team.
"We changed a few things which seemed to work well.
"Our game plan will be similar in terms of attacking the way that we want to, it'll just be tweaked a little bit defensively, to be a bit more compact.
"We've just got to pick our times about when is best to press and things like that.''
Jason Geria scored the first half winner against Port Melbourne for a Victory side already missing Socceroos Archie Thompson, Mark Milligan, Mitch Nichols, Nathan Coe and Connor Pain.
The only major addition Victory will have for the Reds game will be Billy Celeski, who returns from A-League All Stars duty on Sunday.
Absentees notwithstanding, Broxham said Victory will attack the game in the right way.
"With such good coverage you want to give a good name to the Australian game and obviously Melbourne Victory as well,'' he said.
"So we do want to stick to what we want to do and not just park the bus to grind out a 0-0 result in front of 95,000 people, that's probably not an ideal result.''
Liverpool has named a full strength squad featuring the likes of Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Kolo Toure.
Broxham expressed confidence in his younger teammates' ability to perform on the big stage.
"Ange (Postecoglou), he does put pressure on the young boys to perform week in week out,'' he said.
"Whether you're 18 or 28 - he understand the inconsistency at times of younger players - he expects the same things from them.
"This pre-season we have been missing players so younger boys have had to step up and perform and that's part of growing up as well.
"You'd imagine in the first 10 minutes they're going to be nervous, anyone would be in front of a big crowd against good opposition, but everyone believes in the players that we've got.''
