Even though some might question our supposed team selection for the Arsenal clash, Jurgen Klopp is 100% certain the youngsters will be able to live up to the highest expectations and crunch out a needed result:
"Tonight we select a team to win," Klopp wrote in Liverpool's matchday programme. "Winning is our first, second and third motivation – the only motivation always.
"Although not certain, the strong likelihood is that a number of our younger players will feature in some capacity tonight.
"In Milton Keynes, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ki-Jana Hoever, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Rhian Brewster all started and equipped themselves superbly. Herbie Kane, Pedro Chirivella and Sepp van den Berg all came on off the bench.
"They show the right attitude and the perfect amount of hunger each and every day they train with us at Melwood. They show us, in their actions, that they understand what an immense privilege it is to represent a club like Liverpool – it’s an honour all of us blessed to work here feel.
"Clearly the ability of these players is not in question. It is their talent that has brought them here and kept them here. At this stage of their careers it is about a variety of other factors – and being ready to grasp an opportunity is a big part of it."
For now it's almost certain that Caoimhin Kelleher and Harvey Elliott are the two players who'll be starting today against a much more experienced Arsenal squad. Moreover, Unai Emery will surely go for the kill here and field his strongest possible XI. The talent of our young lads and the wall of sound Anfield Road is will be the two crucial factors behind our potential win over the Gunners.
