Ryan Gravenberch is reportedly expected to start tonight for Liverpool, with the Reds hosting Leicester City in the League Cup.

According to journalist James Pearce, the Dutch youth international is in line to return to Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI having made his first start for Liverpool last week in the UEFA Europa League.

Pearce said: “Ryan Gravenberch arrived from Bayern Munich at the back end of the window and I expect him to get another start under his belt.”

Having impressed against LASK, it only makes sense for Gravenberch to return to Liverpool’s starting XI tonight, with Leicester expected to be a good test for a rotated Reds side.

The Foxes have started the Championship season in fine form, and Gravenberch will hope to impress tonight at Anfield, where Liverpool fans will be expected to see the 21-year-old.

Lauded as ‘incredible’ by Anfield Index, Gravenberch has all the quality in the world to become a sensational player for Liverpool, and tonight could be key for the youngster.

Gravenberch is very much at the start of his Liverpool career, yet the midfielder will already put it upon himself to impress tonight against Leicester.

The 2016 Premier League champions are not to be underestimated since their relegation to the Championship, and Gravenberch will face a good test tonight from the Foxes.

Yet passing this fixture with flying colours will be key in Gravenberch settling at Anfield, where tonight he will experience the Liverpool stadium in all its glory.
