There are a variety of choices:
(1) known exoplanets with known transits.  These are stars like
HD209458.

(2) known exoplanets, but where a photometric transit has never been
detected.  These are transit candidates, with observing windows where
a transit is likely to occur.

(3) exoplanet transit candidates, where the light curve looks
about right, but where further data is needed.

Probably #1 is what you are looking for.  Go to
http://transitsearch.org
where there are ephemerides for all of the known exoplanets.  Note
that many of them, like HD 209458, are around very bright stars, so
you won't be able to observe them with Liverpool.
