TNS had raised the possibility of playing the match at Goodison Park, home to Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton.

That would have ensured a major pay-day for the tiny club, but European football's governing body UEFA was not prepared to accept a home tie for a Welsh side being played in England.

The Racecourse has a seated capacity of just over 10,000.

Liverpool lifted the Champions League trophy in Istanbul in May but have been forced to go through qualifying for the 2005-06 competiton because they only finished fifth in the English Premiership last season.
