Liverpool are back in Champions League action on Wednesday as they complete their League Phase calendar.
The Reds have been perfect in the competition so far, flying to seven wins out of seven matches.
An eighth on Wednesday would mean they finish top of the Champions League table with a one hundred per cent record to take into the last-16.
However, Liverpool are already guaranteed a place in the knockout rounds and in the top two of the table. They do not need a result away to PSV Eindhoven.
As a result, Arne Slot has named a very young Liverpool squad to face the Dutch champions.
With so many senior players left back at home, Slot has given himself the chance to hand out five senior Liverpool debuts in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Harvey Davies
Perhaps the most unlikely to get a debut on Wednesday is young goalkeeper Harvey Davies.
Davies has already been on the bench six times for the Liverpool first-team this season, with three of those coming in the Champions League.
With Alisson Becker left out, Davies has been bumped up to third choice but his chances of getting on ahead of Caoimhin Kelleher and Vitezslav Jaros are virtually zero.
Isaac Mabaya
Rewind to the summer of 2022 and Isaac Mabaya was making a splash in pre-season for Liverpool.
Injury problems have since hampered the right-back and he now looks likely to spend his career away from Anfield.
Conor Bradley is set to start ahead of Mabaya at PSV, but the 20-year-old is first in line if Bradley picks up a problem or Slot decides to give him a breather.
Amara Nallo
Given that Slot has decided to leave Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk at home and that Joe Gomez is not yet fit, Amara Nallo may have the best chance of starting of any of the Liverpool academy youngsters.
Nallo had been tipped to start against Accrington Stanley earlier this month, but the Liverpool head coach chose to play Wataru Endo at the back instead.
Slot could choose to do the same again, but with options light in midfield as well, we think Nallo could get the nod next to Jarell Quansah.
Kieran Morrison
Kieran Morrison has been billed as a big prospect at Liverpool over the past couple of years.
Thought he’s still only 18, the time feels right for the tricky midfielder to start making progress into the first-team picture.
Morrison looked to be on fire during training recently and with a route into the midfield very much opening up on Wednesday, he could well get on the pitch.
Trent Kone-Doherty
If there’s one area of the Liverpool squad in which Slot still has strong options against PSV, then it is the attack.
Federico Chiesa, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez have all travelled and will be likely to start against the Eredivisie winners.
However, with Gakpo and Chiesa surely unlikely to play the full game, it feels very possible that Trent Kone-Doherty could finally make his Liverpool debut.
Bought at the same time as Ben Doak, Kone-Doherty has been ‘magnificent’ this season and would add plenty of flair and excitement to the Reds forward line. Plenty to get excited about.
