Liverpool take on Preston North End in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night and may have dropped a big hint about their team selection for the game.
The Reds beat Manchester United 5-0 on Sunday to seal a dream eight days, picking up a win over Atletico Madrid and hammering Watford too.
Now, the attention turns to the Carabao Cup and a short trip to Lancashire to take on Championship side Preston.
North End aren’t faring well in the Championship right now and that may give Liverpool a chance to blood some young players.
If Liverpool fans needed a hint in that direction, last night’s Under-23 game gave it.
Liverpool teenagers left out ahead of Preston trip
Liverpool took on Blackburn Rovers in Premier League 2 on Monday night, but they named a team lacking some key players.
Conor Bradley, James Balagizi, Mateusz Musialowski, Kaide Gordon and Tyler Morton were all left out of the Liverpool side last night.
That’s a major hit that all five players will be involved in Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool squad against Preston on Wednesday.
Bradley and Gordon started in the last round against Norwich City, with Balagizi and Morton now on the bench for that game.
Musialowski could now join in with Liverpool looking to give their young players a chance at Deepdale.
