Both squads are depleted of first-team regulars, so depending how the game pans out, we could witness a Premier League debut or two this afternoon. Liverpool have striker Will Wright and defender Mor Talla Ndiaye, both 18, on the bench, alongside 19-year-old winger Kieran Morrison, while Chelsea could call on a couple of 17-year-old attackers in Ryan Kavuma‑McQueen and Mathis Eboue, the latter son of erstwhile Arsenal defender Emmanuel. Liverpool’s 18-year-old midfield prospect Trey Nyoni, with five Premier League appearances under his belt and 19 overall, seems a grizzled veteran by comparison.

The interim Chelsea boss Calum McFarlane speaks to TNT Sports. “We need to improve the performance from the Forest game … especially around setbacks and resilience and ability to react to moments that don’t go our way … I’d say that'd be the main thing … being honest and open … highlighting areas we need to improve … we’ve had to be creative with how we line the team up and make sure we have enough threat.”
