Liverpool teenager set to make full debut tonight at Southampton | OneFootball

Liverpool visit Southampton in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on Wednesday night.

Manager Arne Slot will likely make several changes from the side that drew 2-2 against Fulham last weekend.

According to Paul Joyce of The Times, young midfielder Trey Nyoni may make his full debut for Liverpool, which serves as a reflection of the faith the club have in him.

The 17-year-old was signed from Leicester City a year ago, and his impressive skills and technique have helped him work his way up the pecking order.

Nyoni had already made his senior debut for the Reds when he came on against Southampton in an FA Cup tie.

He also got 26 minutes of action in the previous round against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The youngster often trains with the senior squad, and Slot has been watching him closely. He feels that Nyoni deserves more game time, and this is a big opportunity for him to impress.

Liverpool should be able to see off the challenge

The Saints are going through a difficult phase. They are at the bottom of the Premier League and are without a manager at the moment.

Southampton sacked Russell Martin last week, and they are still looking for a suitable replacement. Several names have come up as potential options for the vacant job.

This is an ideal opportunity for Slot to give opportunities to several young and fringe players to step up and prove their worth.

Federico Chiesa has returned to full training recently, and he may feature. Jarrell Quansah should definitely start in defence.

Wataru Endo could return to the starting line-up in place of Ryan Gravenberch as Slot rotates his squad ahead of the hectic festive schedule.
