Trey Nyoni's Big Moment: Is He Ready for the First Team?
It's Carabao Cup matchday as Liverpool welcome Spurs to Anfield – and Dave Davis wants to see major rotation from Andoni Iraola.
With Bournemouth awaiting in the Premier League, Dave argues that this is the perfect opportunity to rest Liverpool's biggest names and hand meaningful minutes to the youngsters and fringe players. Trey Nyoni and Lewis Koumas are among those pushing for starts, with Nyoni in particular having a huge opportunity to force his way into the manager's thinking.
Liverpool's struggling midfield is also firmly under the microscope. Dave questions the Gravenberch-Szoboszlai double pivot after another difficult performance and argues that Liverpool desperately need a passer in that area. Could a big display from Nyoni suddenly put genuine pressure on the established midfielders?
There's also team news ahead of Spurs, including Giorgi Mamardashvili starting in goal, the potential return of Joe Gomez and an update on Conor Bradley's recovery. Dave explains why Gomez could have an increasingly important role at full-back – and why he'd currently have him ahead of Jeremie Frimpong in the right-back pecking order.
